      Brave is not a privacy company. They are affiliated.

      But I don’t think switching to Firefox is good enough, since Mozilla is adding bloats to it. Use forks.

          You’re feeding ad companies and chromium dominance by using Brave, so you’re going to see more ads in the long run.

            Again… most people care little when Brave blocks youtube ads without any messing…

                  I don’t mean you voted for Trump. I’m just being sarcastic for those who don’t care much about things

                    Oh I know… but my point is that the average person cares little about a browser but cares a lot about getting rif of youtube ads
