    I read the article.

    But also I’m out of the loop on why ppl hate Brave. Can someone clue me in?

    Is there a better cross-platform browser? I like to use the same one across devices.

      They hate the politics of one of the developers.

      Edit: wtf. I’ve gotten downvoted to oblivion in the past for simply mentioning that Brave search has its own search index. Now I try to pass along the message of those downvoters and I get downvoted again.

      Zen is just preselected no telemetry Firefox, also bleeding edge with Firefox updates

      Brave is fine ish but they have issues, and a lot of them, which they usually fix within 24 hours but they’ve had a track record of like 8-10 issues per year, so just under once a month.

      Don’t downvote me to hell cause it’s a reddit link, sorry, this is the most concise list I know of: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/s/AErPH6iMl0

        Brave is the only browser I’m aware of whose “issues” rise to the level of “we’re going to hijack your URL bar and insert our own affiliate links”

          Apparently it was an auto complete issue that was fixed within 48 hours, but even still, there’s always something wrong with Brave multiple times a year

              I said “apparently” lol. It was still a brave referral link they got money from, so i have no doubt it wasn’t a mistake
