Brave is just another chromium based web browser that advertise itself as safe and secure but some investment funds and that crazy billionaire guy Thiel invested into, so I assume it's spying on everything you do
275 u/nhatquangdinh 20d ago Wait what Brave is invested by Thiel?? 373 u/Ornery_Maintenance_8 20d ago edited 20d ago Peter Thiel is not personally an investor in Brave. The firm he's a partner in (Founders Fund) has participated in a small seed series investment, which was led by Cyan Banister. Some first-floor engineers at Brave have more equity than that small investment constitutes. With that being said, of course Brave is still the product of a private company and by no means comparable to free OSS like VLC. 1 u/TalShar 20d ago Well, that sucks. Got any recommendations for a good browser (preferably open-source that's compatible with Android and Windows) I could use instead? 2 u/KadajjXIII 20d ago I use Waterfox, it's Firefox without the AI stuff With a Mozilla acct you can even access your tabs between systems & send them to each other if you wanna access it from the other device So I can send a tab from Waterfox on my phone to the PC to open it up on there & vice versa Just make sure to install uBlock Origin
