Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros
-
I see how they didn't answer the question. However, maybe they're not answering your question but commenting on "Brave is a great product".
"Jim occasionally bullies his colleagues but he is a good person otherwise"

That doesn't make it a bad product. I've never interacted with any of the crypto or donation stuff. You go into settings, click "no thanks" and are never bothered by any of that ever again. So no, these stories people repeat ad nauseam don't take away anything from the product. Why don't other people demand better from the alternatives? If there is one better than Brave at fighting popups and stuff, I'm all for it

Maybe zen browser! Idk, my only hope is either Ladybird or Servo producing something usable this decade.

Regardless of the CEO, Brave is a great product. The crypto stuff is easy to turn off. Fantastic ad blocking, rarely any problems. What is the best alternative with great ad blocking?
I used it as a secondary browser for a while. I didn't particularly care for it. It's a shame Edge is spyware corporate garbage because that's probably the best Chromium browser besides Ungoogled Chromium. I use Librewolf and the CachyOS browser now.

The IRS rules governing nonprofits still required the Mozilla Foundation to beg big to go big: the parent had to go find big grants from Soros, Ford, Knight, MacArthur, and give smaller grants to many. This put it in the lefties-only-no-righty-Irish-need-apply revolving-door personnel sector of NGOs and nonprofits (too many glowies there for me, too). Which meant I had a hostile MoFo over my head the minute I got CEO appointment from the MoCo board...
Of course I can't comment on anything about my exit, for reasons that only the most loopy HN h8ers still can't figure out.
Old guy, here...
WTF is a "glowie"?

brave is just chromium, i wonder when google wants to cut them off down the line.
Chromium is open source, so Google can't cut them off.
-
At that point, why give the nazi fuck any browser usage? If you don't trust the source, don't trust the product.
Like the other person said, use Ungoogled Chromium. I use it on a couple of my devices and it works pretty well.
Do you know any alternative to forgetful browsing? Basically the only thing keeping me. Just so much more convenient always-on incognito mode.
Also the fact that I can just turn off all the stuff that makes them money.

It comes from Terry A. Davis's description of CIA, FBI and the like: "They glow in the dark"
That statements is actually infused with some racial epithets.

Chromium is open source, so Google can't cut them off.
Well. They can stop updating the open source code, create manifest v4 and now all chromium browsers are shit out of luck.

IDK, ketamine is kinda similar to alcohol; more psychedelic. As someone who has always struggled with depression and has done ketamine, it does seem like it would be a good fast-acting, but short half-life anti-depressant (the afterglow lasts well after the buzz). Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term. Heard it messes up your bladder.

It's a dissociative. Its effects are more like PCP than like alcohol. I wouldn't use the term "psychedelic" for its effects-- the biochemical pathways are different as well.
Heard it messes up your bladder.
The metabolites burn your bladder severely enough that you can end up pissing blood. The body load seems to be high as well, frequent users look grey and washed-out, and it damages your cognition.
Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term.
I've known a few. They started fiending like junkies, lost jobs, destroyed relationships. It's a dirty drug and, unless you're getting professional treatment for PTSD, the best advice I can give is to avoid it and to avoid people who use it.

Anyone not goose-stepping in jackboots is a dangerous leftie to them.

You will not be getting an invite to my next BBQ.

Engineer Syndrome. You get mildly good enough at writing Javascript to sell a product and then assume that means you can fix all of society's problems

Good thing I quit brave a few years ago when they did that Crypto shit.
Of course they did...

Extremely online echo chamber talk doesnt make sense in any language if youre ourside that echo chamber.
Him being a 4chan shitbird means most the people here on lemmy likely weren't going to be clue'd in immediately.
