Just take the God damn Brave pill already

Especially with it being the fastest mobile browser. You'll save precious hours every week with its feature rich adblock.

if you must use chromium, use de-googled chromium or vivaldi instead. all gecko/mozilla-based browsers are preferable to the bitcoin miner known as brave too.

Guise brave is so good I can't believe it's free. Please use it fellow anons It's totally not a virus.

I'm not shilling. I'm guiding you Jow Forums idiots away from furryfox and the breaking add-ons. Those other browsers are shit and infinitely slower, do they have built in adblock like Brave?

>shilling department
Not really. Just pathetic poltards believing they're somehow hurting da joos by using Brave. It's the same shit that happened with AdNauseam two years ago, and then with Waterfox last year.

lol @ built-in adblock being anything innovative

falkon / qupzilla has had this forever
k-meleon, camino, opera, and yes even firefox all have some type of built-in ad-blocking. all these browsers also do not ship with a bitcoin mining rootkit like brave.

I THOUGHT it was botnet for a second, you know, I THOUGHT there was basically no difference between that and Firefox+uBlock.
But then I read about the CEO, and why he left Mozilla. Yeah, Brave is my fuckin' browser. Screw the rest of the world.

Using it right now. I just got a notification ad for some home chef something or other (notification from Brave in Windows 10 notification area). Can't find a way to turn it off. Not impressed.

Ah. Finally one of the brave shills admits they're not actually a Jow Forumsentooman.

Brave afaik has patches from ungoogled

well your knowledge is limited since it isn't open source

>you don't go into the settings and disable basically everything the moment you install a browser
Good luck with Chrome and Firefox: they also nag you with bullshit if you don't turn it off. Lern2computer.

Even if that were true, then ungoogled would be the obvious choice, as it doesn't ship with all the unnecessary BAT / bitcoin advertising shit that brave ships with. The only reason to use brave is if you are financially invested in the browser, or in some way trying to profit off their useless BAT cryptocurrency.

Then what's this?
Stop spreading FUD
github.com/brave/brave-browser

Instead of using Brave:
>use Chromium
>install uBlock Origin, etc.
>change settings to avoid using any Google services
>no longer have to see notification ads from my browser in my OS
How is the above not better than Brave?

Attached: 1536118748558.jpg (1080x1350, 97K)

Firefox doesn't place advertisements in the UI of my OS so I think I'll stick with that. Thanks for shilling this shitty software though. I love wasting my time on inferior products.

No. "Ungoogled Chromium" was some student's college project. It has not been maintained for a long time.

Iridium and Ungoogled Chromium > your shitty scam botnet

OK, where do you turn those damn notification ads off, then?
>you can't tell me because it's impossible.

Or maybe you just want a browser with an adblocker that won't be shut down because of certain (((decisions)))

Etc...

Should we file an issue on brave's github asking them to stop shilling the fuck out of Jow Forums on a daily basis? Or do you think this is the work of Jow Forumstards who got scammed into using brave? I can't tell.

Fair point as well.

Yes it does, all the time. The new tab page shills random articles 24-7, and it nags you to "log in to enjoy amazing features" every few seconds.
Just, like, go into the settings, and you know how there's all these toggles, going to the left and right? Turn basically everything to the left that you don't want.
After reading your post, I can tell you I've NEVER seen what you're describing, so what's more likely is that you have Brave set as your default browser, and some malware you have on your computer is pushing links to your default browser. Maybe stop jerking off to the tranny porn?

Or use GNU IceCat and save yourself the botnet

Install Brave.
Do it for Brendan

You fucking mungeon. Learn to read. Firefox doesn't shill shit in the user interface of the operating system itself. Brave does. Firefox doesn't place ads in the system tray or notification area of my operating system. Brave does. And firefox's less annoying new tab page recommendation shit can actually be shut off, unlike brave's advertising shit, which is a fundamental component of the browser. Now go back in your hole and keep crying while trying to stop your obsessive thoughts about shemales.

Tldr: you're a faggot and brave is a bitcoin mining rootkit.

Fortunately I just got another one while typing my response, so I can send a screenshot.
This shit is showing up in my notifications in Win 10. New one every 20-30 minutes if Brave is open.
>Just, like, go into the settings, and you know how there's all these toggles, going to the left and right? Turn basically everything to the left that you don't want.
Brave should fire you. You don't win over users by talking to them like they're retards.

Ok guys, don't listen to the obvious shill. Install another browser, and have the OBVIOUS MALWARE on your computer keep pushing ads to the default browser.
I use Brave on my laptop because Firefox-based browsers crash on it. And guess what: the opposite is true on my desktop. Pic related.
I'll repeat: I've never seen an ad on Brave. Please scan your computer.

It's just a bunch of tards (maybe even one person) who shill this garbage because they get rewarded with crypto beanie babies.

Really huh? Shills LIKE Brave? How do you explain this?

>the fastest mobile browser

Scan turned up nothing.

Alright, then I don't know what to tell you.
You're right, I've looked over the settings menu, and there's no "constantly push bullshit ads" button. So I'm not sure what causes this behavior.
All I know is that I've heard of people complain about SIMILAR shit on Windows 10, with a variety of browsers, when they have adware on their computer. That's the only information I've got for you. I REALLY don't think Brave is the cause, but feel free to prove me wrong.

>shill posts in shill thread trying to convince people he's not a shill
Wtf is wrong with shills these days?

Okay guys, don't listen to the obvious brave shilling. Install another browser, and avoid the OBVIOUS MALWARE that ships with brave. Please scan your computer to make sure brave is not installed. If you find brave on your computer, a hard drive wipe and clean install of your OS is probably necessary.

Bruv. Alex Jones wouldn't be able to wrap his head around these conspiracies you're weaving. I posted a screenshot of the browser I'm CURRENTLY using. What more do you want? My tax returns?

Attached: 1351646191617.gif (300x169, 2.27M)

Well I have 4 browsers installed and Brave is the only one doing this. I'll still look into further into it out of an abundance of caution in case you're right.
If you're not on Win 10 then I don't think you'll be able to duplicate the problem. FYI I'm not the only person reporting this in this thread. I know you can't see IDs but there are other posts talking about this that aren't me.

/x/ wouldn't be able to wrap their collective head around these conspiracies you're weaving. I posted a simple fact: Brave is OBVIOUS MALWARE. Everyone on Jow Forums knows it.

Both my desktop and my laptop run Windows 10 LTSC, and my laptop is the one that has Brave on it.
Since I spend a LOT of time watching videos full-screen, trust me, I'd notice if there was bullshit popups. I'm not trying to "talk to you like a retard", but really, scroll through EVERY PAGE of the settings menu and make sure shit's disabled. I just do that automatically on every browser I install, so maybe if you don't do that, shit gets bad, I dunno.
>everyone on Jow Forums knows it
Shills love to talk about in-group and out-group shit. They LOVE to socially shame people. I'm the one posting facts here. Brave is less botnet than Chromium at least, and for the normies out there, that's the best they can get.

I do go through settings very thoroughly, especially if I'm installing some software that's new to me.
I'm taking your advice about checking for malware very seriously but so far these notifications seem to have come from Brave itself. It's not impossible that this may be part of their business model, something you can turn off.
I disabled notifications from Brave in Windows' settings and so far they're not showing up anymore.

Listen up shill, we know this is your thread, and you already admitted that you're not even a regular Jow Forums visitor (see here: ). Now you've resorted to sock puppets, but even a functional retard can see your tricks. Try shilling on another research chemical discussion forum.

HEY HEY, HO HO, THESE BRAVE SHILLS HAVE GOT TO GO
HEY HEY, HO HO, THESE BRAVE SHILLS HAVE GOT TO GO

Whoever you quoted isn't me. Scroll up and find the screencap of my browser; I've been on Jow Forums for at least 9 years. I use complete sentences and I don't use retarded jargon if I can help it.

Great. Two people shilling a dangerous browser instead of one.

I've never needed to go that far, since I actually want notifications from a few websites, so yeah, I think the problem's somewhere else.
Not saying it ISN'T Brave, but it's at least not the same version of Brave that I'm using. Are you sure you downloaded the install exe from a legit source? I'm running out of ideas, if you scanned your computer with a somewhat-competant antivirus.

OH NO NO NO NO NO

Again, I love how you call other people shills, when I'm guessing these pure-mad posts are also by you:

Which scanners would you suggest? I did a quick scan with just Windows itself. Going to grab Malwarebytes and ADWCleaner to take a deeper look.
I got Brave from brave.com. I'll hash the download file I have (still in my downloads folder) and check against the official one if possible.
Version 0.65.118

The ad notification are part of Brave's business model. It's on their website and official discussion forums:

Now stop fucking shilling and go away.

Brave pushes ads to windows 10:

Please tell me more about this great browser!

You're totally not shilling chromium malware on a board that by and large hates google and all things chrome + chromium related.

Id do it for Brendan but his browser offers nothing that Iridium doesnt while adding weird ad aids into it.
He also got mad when some literal whos copied his open source browser and made it green.
At the end of the day he should have started a new browser with Firefox as a base and not chrome aids

Jesus, I wouldn't go OVERBOARD over there, Malwarebytes should be fine.
You're trying to convince people you're NOT a shill right now? With obvious bot behavior?

>Brave is less botnet than Chromium at least
Still a botnet, so there's absolutely no reason to use it when there are actually debotted Blink browsers like Iridium, Ungoogled Chromium, Kiwi or Bromite.

I wish you could see IDs in this thread because I jumped in here saying I was trying Brave and that these notification ads were putting me off it. How am I shilling if I'm criticizing and saying I don't like it?
Yeah well I'm OCD about keeping unwanted software off my computer. I tend to go nuclear when I think there's unwanted software. It's like having someone else's hand down my pants.

If anyone else is getting these ads from Brave, you can disable them by going to

brave://rewards/

in the browser and doing the obvious thing.

Or I can not use brave

I'm not calling the non-asshole, "I'm having a problem" guy a shill. I'm calling the "HOLY SHIT GO BACK TO BRAVE HEADQUARTERS YOU GODDAMN TROGLODYTE" guy a shill. Don't get it confused.
And to you I say: yeah, if Brave is causing you that much emotional distress, uninstall it. I just tend to recommend it to people (including normies like my mom) because it's a lot less words than "install the latest Windows build of Chromium from this dude on this site, then go over here and install this addon called 'Ublock Origin', then go over to this site and install this thing called 'No Script', then....".
Safe and non-botnet browsing shouldn't require jumping through hoops. It should be rather easy. And for me, Brave HAS been rather easy. Sorry about your luck.

Even though you're a fucking dweeb, I will actually tell you why I haven't left Windows yet.
I've tried Manjaro, PopOS, various flavors of Ubuntu, and a few other distros I'm forgetting, and they ALL have the exact same problems with my hardware:
>keyboard refuses to work after waking from suspend. I have to unplug it every time
>the most useful audio output on my computer (which is the 2-channel plug at the back of my soundcard) is not recognized by default. I have to select it after booting EVERY TIME. Yes, I've tried saving the settings of ALSAMixer.

>even with them properly installed, desktop graphics performance is still trash
>even using a properly GPU-accelerated video player causes screen tearing when basically anything happens in the video
>no way (that I know of) to change GPU clock and memory speeds and shit after boot
I could go on. Linux is a cool idea. It is not a fully-featured desktop OS.

>Linux is a cool idea. It is not a fully-featured desktop OS.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Most of my issues are driver-related, so for once, I AM actually talking about just Linux, minus GNU.
I'll admit though: I do forget to put respek on GNU's name too often. Thanks for the reminder.

based vivaldi bro.

What should I use then, bros? I used IceCatMobile but it broke many more pages than the desktop version even if I set it up the same. I've been using Brave for some days and it's quite comfy.

>B-b-but based no gay marriage man....
Meanwhile, in reality, he's got a whole fleet of gays working for him.I'm lmao'ing my ass off at these clowns who think they're making a political statement by using Brave.

As I've said earlier in the thread, I use browsers based on what works on my computer.
For some reason, Chromium-base crashes my AMD-based desktop, and Firefox-base crashes my Intel-based laptop. So I use Brave on the laptop, and addon-infused Firefox on my desktop. Both have basically the same settings, and they perform very similarly.

So if brave is chromium and open source, how can it be a bitcoin miner ?literally just use it on your phone and you have full on adblock in a fast browser

Yeah, you're exactly right.
Right at about the midpoint in this thread, a whole bunch of shills fucking flooded this thread responding to everyone posting with "LOL THIS BRAVE EMPLOYEE IS MAD WE'RE NOT USING THEIR BOTNET BROWSER". I think this subject makes them a bit mad.

fucking laughably weak shilling in here. hope the BAT deposits are worth it

Brave is an ad-driven browser that panders to advertising agencies with a blockchain-redistribution scheme while pretending to be ethical by hardcoding deprecated web extensions into it's core (https everywhere & adblock plus), and it contains aave i ledger system which anonymously measures user attention aggregate to accurately reward publishers:
- basicattentiontoken.org/about/

The Brave browser knows where users spend their time, making it the perfect tool to calculate and reward publishers with BATs:

TLDR: Brave is an insecure botnet that pretends to be all about privacy when really it's all about ads.

So out of date at this point

My dude. You can't accuse me of being a shill, and then do the shilly behavior I accused you of IN THE SAME POST. And then post a fucking wall-of-text right after:

I know. I'm just trying to talk about a decent browser (one of the 3 or so that are acceptable to use at all), and there's just constant brigading. It's pretty annoying at this point.

>Nobody's buying it. Brave's fine. If you don't like it, post in another thread. Circlejerk about AnalFox instead. Nobody cares.
False dichotomy. There's more to choose from than Firefox and Brave. UG Chromium and Iridium are everything Brave claims to be, but actually are. Now shoo shoo you braindead shill.

Basically, poltards getting worked up about Mozilla sticking it to the man by using a slightly worse fork of Mozilla's work.

Iridium's interface is trash (along with Vivaldi; I've tried both) and "UG Chromium" both requires you to trust some rando on a forum, AND trust whoever is making the extensions you rely on.
Brave is fine. Again, if you LOVE Chromium and Iridium so much, how about you make a thread about them? Why are you invested in people NOT using Brave? What's your directive?

>Iridium's interface is trash
Iridium, Chromium, UG Chromium all have the same interface you fucking moron. And trust, you wanna bring TRUST into the discussion?? Bwhahahahahaha. Iridium and UG Chromium are both fully open source and well documented, AND they aren't run by greedy wannabe capitalists trying to sell ads and shill their crypto coin.

Opera is still the best chrome skin

>capitalists
So not only are you a shill, but you're a COMMIE shill? That's fuckin' hilarious.
>UG Chromium... [is] fully open source and well documented
No it isn't. CHROMIUM is open-source. Whatever bumfuck skullduggery they gotta do to remove everything Google related ISN'T open-source. So great: Google isn't gathering advertising data on your anymore, but some Chinese dude is logging your keystrokes. Great tradeoff.

If I was stupid enough to trust my privacy on an advertising company I would use Chrome instead of a shitty copy.
