So why aren't you using Brave? Brave has adblocking and script blocking functionality built into it. No need for an addon for such basic functionality that every browser should have. It also has a Tor mode. Yep, you can connect to the Tor network using this browser. Just click in the upper right, and choose "New Private Window with Tor. Finally, """Private""" browsing mode actually means something. And for those who want to bring up Ungoogled-Chromium and how sooo much better that is, Brave is going to merge in the Ungoogled-Chromium patches. github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki/Deviations-from-Chromium-(features-we-disable-or-remove)#how-does-brave-compare-to-ungoogled-chromium
Brave is a botnet scam designed to funnel digital chuck-e-cheese points to its creators. Don't use it.
Owen Jenkins
Brave is broke af. It's browser is clunky on my opinion, I only use Chrome btw,
Kevin Moore
How is it a botnet, and how is it a scam? The browser, upon installation, tells you up front about BAT and asks whether you'd like to turn on that feature, which you can always say no to.
Mozilla shills are out in full force today.
Camden Hall
BRAVE=SCAM! Just because it can block ads and scripts doesn't mean you're private.
There's nothing indicating Firefox planning to follow this move (yes, I read the linked thread).
Brandon Hill
Because UGC exists
Colton Taylor
Because I've given up on trying to avoid the "botnet" and just enjoy actually working software now.
Joshua Powell
Google has been fucked for a long time, and Firefox won't gimp its addons. Firefox has tracker blocking built in as well. Brave's poor anti-fingerprinting makes its Tor mode near placebo. At least use ungoogled or Iridium if you like Chromium so much. Stop shilling for Brave.
Aiden Stewart
>Firefox won't gimp its addons Hearty kek
Blake Lewis
Remember that during the last several days we've had a Brave shilling thread every day Remember that shills like OP are spreading false FUD about Mozilla, it has already been confirmed there's no plan to restrict UblockOrigin on it Remember that Brave is objectively inferior to Firefox for privacy due to fingerprinting Remember that advertising is against the rules Remember to report threads that go against the rules
Camden Moore
You can download PiHole locally on your computer, instead of using a server. As for mobile devices, I don't use internet when I'm outside. Apart from when I text people.
Jonathan Gonzalez
Can you prove that they will?
Colton Robinson
I can prove that they have, firefox broke their extensions upon going to quantum
Ryder Perry
I've been using Firefox for 15 years and I'm tired of it. When something better comes along I'll be happy to switch. When.
Ryan Williams
I'm more than happy on firefox. Won't touch chromium.
Brandon Robinson
> Brave has adblocking and script blocking functionality built into it. No need for an addon for such basic functionality that every browser should have. Oy-vey, oy-vey, the evil (((Google))) is going to trick (You) into using their built-in Ad """Blocker""", that's a no-no! So why don't (You) install our version of Chromium, which does absolutely the same? It also has a (((Tor Mode))), which means you will be super dooper secure with our browser!
too much spyware that can't be removed (disabling is useless when (((Brave Rewards))) icon still spams my omnibox even after disabling) for too little music (reskinned chrome)
Alexander Howard
Reminder to hide and report all shilling threads from Brave devs. It's literally spyware. It just replaces ads on the web with its own (((acceptable ads))), and steals the revenue, while selling your browsing history to advertisers to better target you
Go try out braves "protection". It literally is easier to fingerprint Brave than stock Google Chrome. Also since Brave is WebKit based it has no possibility of preventing cross domain tracking. This has even been acknowledged by Brave devs.
The only escape ever is either Tor or Firefox in Tor mode.
But hey who cares about reading when you can trust a random for profit companies claim made by a desperate guy losing his money and going onto his sixties right?
Joshua Morales
It doesn't matter brave is still able to be fingerprinted (their protection is placebo try it out).
Also Firefox has the same protection also implemented in C. It is only shills pushing Brave.
Asher Flores
>We should switch away from Firefox because of something they might hypothetically do, to a browser that we know is shit for privacy That's retarded.
If Firefox breaks ublock I'll switch to whatever pale-moon type browser still exists, but Brave brings literally nothing compelling to the table, despite lots of apparent shilling for it.
Ryder Cruz
Blessed and righteous post.
Cooper Morgan
>Brave phones home with your data on every start up Source?
Isaac Allen
Braves claim is privacy. Brave claims it protects against fingerprinting.
Brave has telemetry (including every time on start-up) which you cannot disable. On Firefox (even on Chromium) you can.
Brave is easier to fingerprint than stock Google Chrome. Go try it out. Firefox fingerprinting protection works (resistFingerprintung). If you think it doesn't work you can't even attempt to say Braves works. Firefox' is implemented in native C code while Braves one is a shitty JS extension that doesn't even spoof much.
Dominic Brooks
>BAT >just another shitcoin going to zero And it's already zero because it's opt-in. Nothing to get worked up about.
Aiden Richardson
You are aware that it literally doesn't even matter if Firefox follows? They have built in content blocking and fingerprint protection (that actually works contrary to Brave)
Bentley James
>At least use ungoogled or Iridium It doesn't compile half of the time on Linux and takes months to get updated. What's the point?
Dominic Gonzalez
Where's all the identifying data then? And they even tell you it can be turned off.
Austin Stewart
Firefox has built in content blocking no need for any add-ons.
Elijah Hernandez
Stop pretending you can't turn these off and use whichever extensions you prefer.
Asher Ortiz
>tfw Brave themselves say that you should use actual Tor browser if you want real anonymity
But obviously brainlets are unable to read.
Zachary Peterson
>too much spyware that can't be removed github.com/brave Where? >(((Brave Rewards))) icon still spams my omnibox even after disabling) Spams what? It's just next to the search bar. >for too little music (reskinned chrome) Chrome... Jesus...
Blake Hill
Go try turn it off. Exactly you won't find a way to turn it off.
But yes they do tell you it can be turned off. They do tell you fingerprinting protection. They do tell you privacy. None of which is true or works.
I really can't get how people are that easy to fool.
David Hernandez
Keep posting literal FUD in every thread and pretending BAT hasn't always been opt-in.
Juan Diaz
So you admit you are too dumb to even check something as simple? Then why do you even use Brave?
Literally you could use Chrome you wouldn't realize any difference.
Let.me guess you think their fingerprinting protection works even 1% because "hurr they say so"
What about actually trying youraelf idiot.
Aiden Reyes
>Go try turn it off. Exactly you won't find a way to turn it off. It's just changing a start page. >They do tell you fingerprinting protection. They do tell you privacy. None of which is true or works. Yeah, so use all the extensions you would normally use and turn their built-in ones off.
Anthony Lopez
Then use Firefox. Only browser with working fingerprinting protection and only browser with Container Tabs anyway both if which are the basis for anonymity.
Ayden Gomez
>Literally you could use Chrome you wouldn't realize any difference Oh fuck, here you fucking are again.
Noah Johnson
You can't turn off braves telemetry despite what they say. Sniff the traffic then try disabling it.
Also Brave and Chrome anonymity are literally on par. Contrary Chrome provides more anonymity since it is. harder to fingerprint. And no I am not joking try it out yourself.
Tyler Allen
So you are aware Braves telemetry cannot be disabled and the devs even straight up lie about it? Try disabling it without recompiling.
Also uniorinicalky stock Chrome, Opera and Firefox provide better protection against fingerprinting and cross domain tracking. If you don't believe me try it out yourself.
Thomas Sullivan
because pale moon exists
Jaxson Gray
>changing a start page
I wonder why the only people using Brave are the ones who are not able to sniff traffic or fingerprint their own browsers.
Go sniff traffic. You changing a fucking start page does nothing. Before you even see the UI Brave already sends telemetry you fucjing brainlet.
Also again Brave is easier to fingerprint than Stock Chrome. You obviously won't believe me so try it out yourself instead of just putting out your own assumption.
Juan Price
> Chrome has it's own rendering engine > Firefox has it's own rendering engine > Brave doesn't have its own rendering engine
Xavier Cox
Ok so what ? There are still 10000 other problems about Brave like their devs straight up lying. You cannot disable telemetry even though they say you can (try to disable then sniff traffic).
Also their fingerprinting protection doesn't work. Contrary using Brave actually makes it easier for Google etc. to follow you then when using stock Chrome. Try it. If you can't then admit you are too brainlet but stop spreading propaganda
Joseph Roberts
Yes I provide actual arguments and reasoning and tell you idiots to try it yourself.
Your brainlet response is "hurr oh fuck".
If I am.So wrong why don't you try it and prove me wrong?? I did try it with every major brave release and all f.them to this date are easier to track around the web. than Chrome itself.
Ayden Adams
Remember the crypto scam brave runs on websites they don't even own? Why are they still allowed to shill their garbage in here, anyway? They ask for donations on behalf of websites they don't own, without the approval of their actual owners and keep the money if they're not claimed. That's literally the business strategy of this chucklefuck of a chrome skin. Don't fall for this scam or contribute to it.
Brayden Brown
Everyone just report this.
This is obvious advertising. Which would be fine by me if it did anything it promised but contrary it makes it even easier for Google and other advertisers and trackers to follow you around the web. Also Brave devs are huge liers and sjws. Their "security advisor" is a fucking pink haired tranny what do you expect?
If you don't believe me go read up on cross domain tracking and fingerprinting. And no their fingerprinting "protection" is worse than placebo it is legitimately harmful try it out yourself.
Michael Reyes
Those two statements aren't related in any way and nobody's interested in your personal anecdotes.
Caleb Barnes
Well by using Chrome over Brave he not only more secure but also has more privacy. Unironically.
Jacob Clark
Firefox was in desperate need of an engine update and that's the consequence of doing so. The 20 year old Netscape engine they were patching up was running on fumes. This is proof of absolutely nothing and you're just trying to scare people into using your scamware. Eat shit and die, shill.
Ethan Jones
BAT has always been OPT-OUT for website owners. Do you understand the difference, marketer? It means they have to actually be aware of the "service" and request for it to stop if they don't want their users to be deceived. Fuck your identity theft racket.
Daniel Martinez
Hey, fuckface, if your malware browser is so good, why do you need to advertise it here? Can't you afford some Jow Forums ads with the revenue from your BAT pyramid scheme?
Liam Gutierrez
>IT'S A BOTNET! >IT'S A SCAM! >MUH FINGERPRINTING
Are we gonna have the same FUD thread every day now? Why does Brave trigger Jow Forums this much?
Do you have schizophrenia? What does that have to do with Firefox changing engines? Try to focus here, shifty.
Landon Watson
Yeah, work those Eich bux, dirty ass ho.
Luke Bell
Fingerprint protection doesn't work at all. Your Canvas, screen size, plugins (as of Chromium), time zone, WebGL fingerprint (as of Chromium), OS/Platform are revealed and the user agent isn't spoofed.
Tor tabs lack any additional anti-fingerprint methods, making them completely useless as your privacy is trivial to breach. You can be effortlessly uniquely identified and tracked.
The Brave adblocker is trash compared to uBlock Origin. The performance is difference is massive if you enable any additional block lists in Brave's blocker. Which you have to because Brave's adblocker is not only inefficient, but also lacks a ton of filters by default and a lot of ads will still be displayed. uBlock Origin blocks domains instead of just hiding ads, plus it has a script blocker and an element picker.
(((PIA))) partnership. Has (had?) proprietary addons. Google is the default search engine.
Chromium build has a terrible UI (especially settings UI) and is missing gestures like long press on new tab to choose to open a private/tor tab.
What are you talking about, you goddamn retard? Firefox used the same engine before and after the extension genocide. That had literally nothing to do with why they switched (which was wanting to be more like Chrome). The inevitable move of them switching to Blink hasn't happened yet.
Blake Lopez
>Firefox used the same engine before and after the extension genocide WRONG, cockbreath.
Leo Young
>2019 >Using Chromium >Implying that "fucks" google.
Camden Howard
brave is the browser-equivalent to alex jones' infowars: controlled opposition for the gullible masses
David Walker
You do know that you can just install uBlock Origin in Brave as well, if that's what you want?
Hudson Cook
you brought it up you sperg why can't you back it up
>BAT has always been OPT-OUT for website owners Source? >Fuck your identity theft racket What in the actual fucking fuck are you talking about?
David Gonzalez
>implying you need to use only one browser
I use multiple browsers each for a specific purpose. Privacy configured Firefox is my go to but it breaks many websites.
If I want to watch something I'm already compromised on, the I use Brave.
Matthew Anderson
>brave is the browser-equivalent to alex jones' infowars: controlled opposition for the gullible masses Oh, really? How so? By including Ungoogled-chromium patches and doing what I'd assume he'd call a method of "fighting the globalists".
>I use multiple browsers each for a specific purpose. That sounds inconvenient, cumbersome and like some violently retarded shit. Perhaps that's not a fact you should be sharing with other people.
Aaron Walker
>giving someone a tip that he doesn't collect = identity theft imagine falling for this level of FUD

Wyatt Rodriguez
See genius. What most likely happened is that he turned on BAT without paying much attention and forgot to claim his currency within 90 days. They've responded and changed this behavior just because the mongoloid couldn't read instructions. That's your "identity theft".
