    I don’t get all the hate Brave gets. I understand that techies have some issues, but for me as a user I have nothing bad to say. Ads are blocked everywhere, including YouTube. There’s an option to use tor…

    If you don’t like the crypto options don’t use them. I always thought crypto was bunk, but I wish I bought a bunch of bitcoin when I first heard of it.

      Props to Brendan! Firefox and Brave are have put their foot down. Now they need our support. I’m hoping that nobody here is using Chrome (or anything else Google for that matter). We the users are what gave Google their power. We wanted free shit and look where that landed us. Time to turn things around.

      I don’t like it because it’s a chrome derivative. Sure, they use Chromium and can edit some things. But at the end of the day, they use the Chrome javascript engine and render the HTML/CSS however Google wants to. Therefore Google more or less defines how that browser represents the web. If Google wants to implement or not implement some web standard, Brave has to follow along whether they like it or not.

      I want less power in Google’a hands, not more.

        The chrome javascript engine? V8 you mean? That’s used in Node, it basically powers most, if not all, of the modern web lol

            Hence the modern. Most modern websites nowadays don’t use php anymore, at least for their FE

              Laravel is modern enough. If you’re talking bleeding edge web dev, that’s actually on elixir with Phoenix

              Not sure how you count how “modern” something is considering PHP still has new versions and cut lots of releases

      I think it’s largely because of Brendan Eich not supporting gay marriage. The browser itself seems fine to me also.
