A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Name an alternative browser that has the same level of ability to block trackers built in.

why does it need to be built in? What's wrong with downloading one extension and being set afterwards?

I'm pretty sure I've read this news a couple of times now the past week or weeks?

It’s only a matter of time until Eich sells all of Brave’s users down the river.

I use Brave as a secondary browser mostly for government websites because sometimes my firefox privacy settings breaks them and since many of them are poorly designed a technical issue over your account may result in hours on the phone to resolve.

Why not use chromium or one of the many other chrome forks? What about Brave works better?

I currently use brave on iOS to block YouTube ads. Is there any other option right now? I’d be willing to switch.
