      I mean if you are already ok with using a Chrome reskin from a crypto ad company your standards are already set too low.

      People who use Firefox are concerned that Firefox is slowly shifting into what Brave is now. Aka an ad company.

      I swear to god Brave browser is a cult. People who are into it a really into pushing it. No, I don’t want your crypto-bro, ad company run, chrome reskin.

          This is literally better in every way.

          This being said, better in every way does not mean good. It’s just hard to be worse than a crypto bro run, literal ad company, who’s browser is a reskin of chrome.

          Hot off the presses, in addition to the CEO being queer-phobic, he literally is now ranting about how George Soros, and leftists are treating him unfairly.
