Why I do not use the #browser #BRAVE

1) The business model involves modern robber baronry. Although they filter out #advertising, they want to sell the freed-up space to other advertising #media. Source: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/newspapers-to-brave-browser-dont-mess-with-our-ads-or-else/

2) Brave manipulated links without informing users and made profits from it. Source: https://nitter.1d4.us/cryptonator1337/status/1269201480105578496

3) The browser engine is based on #Google #Chrome. Of course, Google only collects our data to improve the quality of its service. Thanks to #Snowden, we know that the data also flows to the #NSA. Unfortunately, Google cannot be trusted. The browser engine is being rebuilt in such a way that filtering out this monitoring and new tracking possibilities will become more difficult.

4) There are better browsers to protect #privacy: https://privacytests.org/private.html

5) Brave is not about providing a secure free browser but about making profit. There is nothing wrong with that in a capitalist world, if they would communicate it openly.

Newspapers to Brave browser: Don't mess with our ads -- or else

The New York Times, Washington Post and other newspapers say the startup's plan to remove their ads and insert others is "illegal." Brave's CEO says the browser is the "solution, not the problem."
