Fuck brave browser, all my homies hate brave browser
Anti-Chromium gang
How tables have turned. I went from FF to Chrome somewhere around 2009 just to move back in 2024. Fuck chromium.
Coward gang
(Jfc does anyone recognize word play or smth)
Im genuinely curious if you can explain your position further? How is avoiding it cowardice?
Avoiding Brave browser makes you part of a coward gang
Coward = very not Brave
That was an excellent pun!
A real man embraces vulnerabilities.
Love the word play. The logic is shakey lol
Evil brave
My company’s ERP software doesn’t work well on Firefox unfortunately. So brave is the next best option for me. Other chromium based browsers only work with UBO Lite which is very limiting for the amount of filters I have imported. So for work I use Brave and for personal I use FF with betterfox user.js.
It’s cool that you get to do erotic role play professionally.
That’s what people think of these days? Grrmbl.
Reminds me of some old, old, old tech humour bit where some biz manager ended up in fistfight with the head of IT support because both thought they were in charge of “ERP” and the biz bro felt the IT nerd was overstepping his boundaries. It ended with an email from the CEO that clarified a few acronyms: “ERP = Enterprise Resource Planning. ERP = Emergency Response Plan. Hopefully this clears things up.”
It’s what I think of as someone who writes collaboratively as a hobby. I can’t speak for everyone lmao. All I know is that I chuckle whenever I see the acronym in the wild.
It’s funny that CNC can either be one of these industrials machines I don’t know much about, or Consented NonConsent
Try helium
thank you for sharing this non-existent content
my pleasure! be careful out there!
Out where?
good question!
Out of the environment of course.
I’ve used Firefox based browsers for as long as I can remember and I’d rather slam my dick in a car door than switch to garbage like brave. Every single one of those browsers is the same bloated Google-flavoured bullshit wearing a different fucking clown costume. Firefox is the only browser that doesn’t make me feel like I’m being rawdogged by corporate spyware every time I open a tab… Piss on carpet !!
i thlammed my penith in the car door

Brave is even worse as they’ve been caught doing shady shit without permission on more than one occasion.
I thlammed my penith in the car door!
This broke the car door!
Do you know why we stopped the car? 🎵
Cause it smelled like dick.
I only use palemoon because it uses the best version of Firefox.
Yeah, I don’t do web stuff, but I use the browser every day for all the microsoft stuff my employer uses and it’s 99% LibreWolf and then 1% switching to Firefox ESR that cane preinstalled on debian.
If something didn’t work at that point, I’d probably fire up my Windows VM I use for testing before I’d install even chromium. I’ve installed it before but there’s just no need now.
I love using Brave browser… swipes away crypto ad banner …because there is a massive focus… swipes away crypto ad banner …on privacy….
Privacy against big tech but brave is just an indie operation please give them your data 🥺
I don’t understand. Why does Brave not exist? Is it because the developer is a chud? Fair enough. Is it because it’s Chrome? If so, does that apply to Vivaldi?
Can somebody explain something stupid to me? What exactly is wrong with Chromium? Does Google have backdoor access to anyone who’s running a Chromium based program or something?
They abuse the fuck out of their monopoly, basically.
They made changes to limit the usefulness of adblockers (Manifest V3), they tried to force a remote attestation API (WEI API) a few years back that would let them do stuff like fully block users who aren’t running locked-down operating systems from using online banking software or accessing Youtube, they added many chrome-specific web APIs that are extremely helpful for fingerprinting and lock users into the chrome ecosystem, etc.
And if you’re running stock chromium, there’s a fuckton of telemetry calling home to Google servers constantly.
And browser is such a complex piece of software that you cannot just fork it easily and change those things within a weekend with a bunch of unpaid volunteers.
So basicaly everything that made it through the android-google ecosystem also made it through chromium, is my take
They made changes to limit the usefulness of adblockers (Manifest V3)
Unless you’re using Brave :)
You can’t. It doesn’t exist.
Lol actually
As a web dev I hate the trend of websites relying on chromium-specific quirks, there are a handful of sites I need to use which refuse to work in any non-chromium browser, and customer support will always tell you to just use chrome as if you’re not a normal person for using Firefox. So yeah what’s wrong with chromium to me is that it’s the new internet explorer when it comes to web standards. Websites and large businesses can afford to just not care if they are following web standards as long as it works in chrome, and if you have a problem it’s your fault for not using chrome.
Yeah, we’re back to the days of websites only supporting Internet Explorer because of proprietary features and weird quirks.
That’s valid too. Thanks for pointing that out
Someone at work made a “who on earth uses FireFox” comment recently, like it was some obscure and inferior / outdated software (our company includes FF as part of the standard image for both PC and Mac users). I did not go into my “why chromium is evil” rant, but I did tell them how to adjust their settings to fix some performance issues they were having with it. I’m pretty sure they still switched to Chrome.
This is why I switched from LibreWolf. If I had to have a Chromium browser installed as a backup anyway for few important sites, I might as well use Chromium. Imo Chromium has won. It owns the web landscape. I’ve given up
In technology, victory is fleeting.
Why don’t you at least use Ungoogled Chromium, Cromite, or Helium Browser? At least they prioritize security and privacy equally while not being tied to Ghoulgle.
Do you have an issue with desktop Cromite where the browser just straight up freezes except for maybe the menu button? I’d chalk up to being a Debian Linux weirdo, but my work-provided Windows 11 laptop also has this particular issue in the flesh. I switched back to Ungoogled Chromium because of it, and also cause I want uBlock Origin and no less.
At least Cromite Android has extensions.
Their adblocks don’t work mainly
Only Brave still works on YouTube
Is this because of the whole Manifest V3 thing that prevents uBlock Origin from being installed?
I use LibreWolf, and I do have issues with a few sites (my local utility company’s bill pay only works on chromium), but I still refuse to use a chromium based browser except for those specific sites.
It is inconvenient, but it can still make a difference. If sites that have chromium only functionality see that enough FireFox users are trying to use the site, they may update it. I know web devs check those kinds of metrics.
What exactly is wrong with Chromium?
It gives Google hegemony over web standards.
@Chaunticleer this sums up many concerns (at least mine)

Thank you
Yes but Brave is Chromium with functioning AdBlock
which you can get on any Chromium based browser, brave is nothing special in that regard. you can have functioning adblock with Vivaldi also.
No Vivaldi’s and the others’ don’t work for YouTube
yes it does. i’m using it right now.
I tried it. No it doesn’t. Quit lying just bc you don’t like Brave
calm down. it does work, would you like me to record a video if it working? hm? oh boy I just did! http://andmc.ca/mov/noads.mp4
Just because YOU don’t know how to work something as simple as an ad blocker on vivaldi doesn’t mean it dosn’t work.
Grow up you child.
@KindaABigDyl with crypto bs added and no control for ublock or making extensions that modify the website for your needs.
I don’t use the crypto. You can just disable the wallet when you set up the appearance.
Yeah but it’s the best chromium skin!
Chromium with crypto, spy and adware injected into it and its development led by an alt-right manchild? Hard disagree. Even the default Ungoogled Chromium easily tops Brave.
Cromite and Helium also top Brave.
no, because i’ve never seen it
It does not exist because it does not exist.
Hope that helps.
Sooo… you claim Brave is created by an artist, a piece of Art, one may day?
most importantly, a vegan artist?
Firefox still exists, right?
And it sucks.
Sounds like just the perfect match for you!
Keep licking Mozilla’s boot.
I have tried all the browsers that you can imagine and I stay with Firefox, it had catch me
I’ve used firefox for ages, but I still switched to waterfox recently. They promised to not push the AI crap on you, so that was enough for me. Also it’s just firefox with a blue logo lmao
Pale Moon.
Why do you prefer it?
Funhole containment breach. Outbreak Outbreak Outbreak
the nomadic life has been hard on me
thank you for making visual content on the trail.
the wheel of content keeps on turning whether we like it or not
Get back to your wheel, lazy peasant!
Firefox or GTFO.
Mumble mumble HURD mumble GEGL
They recently used AI to translate a lot of code to Rust. Thought it sounded like a neat project right until then.
Aah, I was not aware of that.
Switched to LibreWolf a few weeks ago because of AI.
What’s the deal with Brave? Why are people against it?
Aside from the homophobia, Brave also runs an ad network so I’m skeptical about their privacy claims.
Brave was found altering links to some crypto services like Binance to include their referral and basically profit from unknowing users, they also run an ad network, they rely on Chromium, thereby endorsing Google’s dominance over the modern Web, they are very crypto-positive, which is a problem for many in the open-source community, and on top of that, everything else others have said.
Vigilink is the vendor they use to do this iirc. Link hijacking for referral revenue is wild thing to base a business on, but I’ve seen more sketch things running around the ad tech industry.
i’m not against it, i just don’t believe it exists

Brendan Eich. Specifically his stance against same sex marriage. He was pressured to resign from Mozilla, which he cofounded, due to his support of California’s prop 8. Then he founded Brave. The Brave browser also has some annoying crypto and AI features turned on by default. I think it’s a perfectly fine piece of software. I use it as a second browser.
It’s impossible to be good at programming and morality at the same time.
That’s why I never tried with either.
A whole ton of femboys with knee socks, running Arch, might beg to differ
Their very shady history + their very bigoted owner + current shady tactics
Edit: and on top of that it’s Chromium based
I don’t want to use a web browser maintained by the guy responsible for our JavaScript hell
They do a ton of sketchy shit. I was skeptical, but this article convinced me.
If you need to use a Chromium browser, there are a shit-ton that aren’t Brave. I use Ungoogled Chromium.
The guy who made it has bad beliefs. It’s good software from what I can tell, and free as in speech and free as in beer, but if you use it you get his bad bigot cooties. You have to use free software by certified free range organic non-bigots or it rubs off on you I guess.
Okay that gave me a good chuckle. But really with FOSS software it’s important to be aware of biases the developers might have. Sure if it’s an open source project, in theory I can audit the code but realistically not so much. If the lead developer is a known bad actor, then there’s reason to be paranoid about vulnerabilities or backdoors being injected into the codebase.
Well there’s no code he can insert that will invalidate anyone’s marriage. And his philosophy on tech and privacy is good. I probably wouldn’t invite him to brunch, but I’m okay with his code.
Never mind his politics, that asshole designed JavaScript!
😂
What happened with /c/unix_surrealism?
Why wouldn’t they leave a donation link on that page :<
I bet they don’t even have MBAs! How do they expect to optimize their revenue funnel and drive quarterly growth‽
Hosting instance ran out of disk space, collecting donations to resume operations.
Did she eat brave?
she would if it existed!
im just gonna link this image the next time some uninformed dork asks me about this shit browser
that’s allowed!
