Your arguments are truly weak. I don't even use Brave as my main Browser, but I'll likely be using it more often now literally because this article annoyed me that much. Also FWIW I'm a liberal and member of the LGBTQ+ community, I detest that Eich would donate to prop 8 but I also respect that we live in a country where people will have vast political differences and still be able to see past those things and interact without demonizing and trying to cancel each other.
Stop using Brave Browser
Sorry folks, the trolls and weird right-wing people found this, gotta close the comments.
this is just an hateful article.
How about: NO?!
great article!

I do, Vivaldi does exactly the same
So, just to recap, don't use Brave Browser because:
Its CEO & a shareholder hold right-wing political views
It pays users (who opt-in) crypto (whereas other browsers pay users nothing)
It has an ad model (that you neglect to mention also pays users crypto for viewing ads)
It once allowed users with (pre-existing) FTX accounts to link them via a widget
It partners with Gemini (to allow users to offload/exchange the BAT they've earned, not mentioned)
Gemini has an SEC case (part of the SECs crypto witch hunt which includes a failed case vs XRP)
Crypto.com faced layoffs during a bear market

Nah, use LibreWolf; a fork of Firefox that is the only browser to match and even beat Brave in the full gauntlet of tests at privacytests.org
Screwing ad-tracking business is the exact reason why you should use it.
