    Brave is very open about how it pays for itself via ads. Y’all conspiracy theory turds are starting to annoy me.

      Can you really call it a conspiracy when they have a new privacy, user trust or otherwise shady issue every month?

        They really don’t, not that I’ve seen anyway. Just stuff like this article that’s 10% them doing something perfectly reasonable and 90% people going “they just feel shady!”

        If you can show me actually shady stuff they’ve done, I’m happy to change my mind.

        Usually when I ask this, it’s something like “they do ads!” to which the obvious reply is “yeah they tell you that upfront”.

      They literally had to be called out for link jacking and tried to deny it for awhile. They’re anything be open. They are giant pieces of shit.
