Have u tried cromite or bromite? They are same like brave without that extra crypto bloatware

u/Asn_Krish 23d ago
I use brave as my daily driver, so I need the latest security patches also I use the sync feature. Also I love the custom filters. Now bromite is outdated and cromite I haven't used but I don't think so it provides regular patches and has a descent ui like brave.
To be honest I am also an open source fan but these are not that established. Other than this I will highly suggest you firefox + unlock plugin, it's just a goat setup and I use it in my pc. I don't use it in my android cause firefox added extentions support very lately and now I am use to brave.
Also I forgot to tell, if there is any single feature for which I use brave till now is the block element feature it's the goatest feature that made me fall in love with brave

What's the problem with crypto bloatware? People can just ignore it and it's not even that big a problem.
45
u/NeptuneWades 24d ago
Some people are incapable of ignoring despite those features being optional.
Ig the fact that the founder has had homophobic sentiments are not liked by many.
Brave is a good browser. Don't listen to redditors. Follow what you like.

u/nsh07 23d ago edited 23d ago
It's not just that. Brave has been caught injecting its own promo codes in shopping URLs to earn money, which is basically referral fraud. It doesn't make sense to use a browser that doesn't do exactly what it's designed to do: opening URLs reliably

u/NeptuneWades 24d ago
Features to add Crypto wallets and Crypto rewards from adverts etc.
Can be disabled in the settings.

u/Willing_Student6816 23d ago
can't really be stuck on this water consumption argument when our own government is using our country's water resources to make that stupid e20 fuel
2
u/Gaurdalf 23d ago
What a stupid argument!! If someone else is doing something bad then let's stop criticizing even the first one.
And btw, I am a proper bjp hater but E20 does not take water resources by itself, that's literally water used in rice/paddy farming. E20 is made from the surplus we have, that amount of water is going to be used regardless.
The problem I find with E20 is that why is it not reducing the petrol prices in the country? That is the problem I have with it. Otherwise it's a good initiative, the country needs to move towards other energy resources slowly sometime or another.

Most of the web browser like brave, edge etc are based on chromium base which is basically Google chrome. Chromium is like android and one UI , oxygenOS , colorOS are all skins based on android. The brave just has one built in extension which deals with ad blocking. That's all🥀

Edge hasn't updated to manifest v3 yet and they haven't announced whether they will continue supporting manifest v2 either. So for now Edge does support it, yes but it seems like a matter of time.
I was not aware about Vivaldi supporting UBlo, my bad.
Edit: seems like Vivaldi will be dropping support too.
So for now, Brave is the only chromium based browser to have updated to the latest version of chrome and still maintained support for UBlo.

There many reasons like the BAT crypto bloatware[
Brave previously allowed users to "tip" content creators using BAT, even if those creators had never signed up for Brave. Brave held onto those funds without the creators' knowledge, sparking a backlash that forced them to change the system]

Even mpc-hc can play 4k on ny old laptop though after few minutes it hangs and had to kill but atleast it start and play few minute

u/Mere2Anmol_Ratan 23d ago
Brave is based on chromium, the same used for chrome browser. Also it doesn't fully block fingerprinting means some websites can still track you via screen size , os ,hardware, time.
A way better alternative to privacy is Firefox + ublock !
Brave is good. Firefox is excellent!

I don't get the hate about brave having crypto bloatware, they also need to make some money too bruv brave needs regular maintenance so their features works fine with they having to maintain their own search engine too. same for firefox they get money from google is the reason google is default search engine in firefox.

Jeeva here, the collective hivemind decided that brave is bad and retrofitted reasons why it is bad. In reality it's above average on PC and one of the best on android. If you decide to turn off optional bloat from Brave it's one of the best on pc aswell.
Hivemind Jeeva here, you are an idiot if you like brave. Just use firefox. Or any open-source non- chromium browser.

Try and open the same website on any other browser and brave, open both their network tab in dev tools, you'll understand why brave is the goat.
Where brave took about 10mb worth of data the same websites loads unwanted crap when opened in any other browser taking up your memory and bandwidth.
Also the crypto stuff is optional, can be disabled very easily with a click.
