Common folks you are supposed to use a Computer only to assist at your job.

What a shitty article. Firefox should use mirror.

I don't see any of this as legitimate reasons to stop using Brave.

  • yes the CEO donated $1k some 10 years ago to anti-LGBT stuff, and that's bad, but kinda small fries in the totality of factors.

  • ads. Firefox has ads and trackers just like Brave. You can disable them on either.

  • you can also disable crypto.

  • hijacking affiliate codes is unethical and should be stopped but don't actually affect me in any way.

What else ya got?

The author of the article has some personal issues it seems, article is more of a rant. I like brave as an alternative browser.

You should always have three browsers, imho. I use Firefox, Tor, and Brave as my three. Firefox's addon ecosystem is great, and I can use it easily on all the computers I touch. Brave helps me when I need "Chrome" for something to work, but the browser is fairly slick imho, plus exists as a financially independent competitor to Chrome, unlike Firefox. Lastly, Tor is for when using Tor through Brave or using it through transparent proxy isn't enough, and I am worrying about fingerprinting as well.
