Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC

Not interacted doesnt mean it's non-existant.
It exists and therefore it's bad enough.it’s bad enough.
This is debatable. i find some that people hate on AI and crypto regardless of it's implementation

In this thread something I see a lot on lemmy is happening. Maybe someone can give me a hint on how that happens. The post itself is 90% upvotes, while the comment section is really anti-Brave (for good reasons). Do most upvotes come from people scrolling through without looking at the comment section and those with an opinion on the topic dive into it?
I’ve noticed this on political posts too, among others and I’ve wondered the same thing.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I think you should not downvote a post you have a negative opinion about.
If the post is worth to discuss then why should I not upvote the post and then say that I disagree in the comments.
If we all down vote those posts nobody will see it (apart of those who sort by controversial) and there will be no discussion. -
My point was that brave's solution, like Signal's, is dependent on microsoft playing fair. If microsoft decides they don't want brave, signal, or anyone else using DRM to interfere with their screen scraping chatbot, there is not going to be an easy way to fix it.
No way they'd do that though, because then they'd have the mouse and the other members of the content mafia breathing down their necks.

The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.
To me the karma system is about quality. Not an "I agree/disagree" button.
For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

As does Linux.
You use Linux? Here take this you've earned it

Brave is connected to the BAT pay-to-surf scam. Its CEO donates to homophobic causes.

Unfortunately that would involve using the Brave browser, which is an antifeature in itself.
Can you elaborate? I don’t use it.
-
Actually it does! When youre installing, just delete the windows boot partition and your done!
I recently decided to switch from using Atomic Fedora to reg KDE Fedora (cause tinkering and bypassing atomic features got on my nerves), and I almost went through with wiping everything and only having Linux installed. And then I realized I probably wouldn't be able to do some tests for college cause they use anti-cheating software (lockdown browser) which they probably wouldn't like if I ran it in a VM or wine...
But man, once I'm out of college, I'm probably wiping Windows for good! Also gonna factory reset that partition so it at least takes way less space on my drive.
(Side note: the other hesitation is that I'm 90% kernel updates nuked Bluetooth for me around March (It worked when I rolled back to January/February releases) and I do have zoom classes sometimes. Like, do I just have to buy a Bluetooth dongle to deal with this?)
-
yeah, no, i'm not using your shitty browser.
It's probably the best chromium browser out there
Firefox has done shit too
sadly we don't have a lot of choice, but they're one of the least worse
-
Can you elaborate? I don’t use it.
They shit on it because just like Mozilla, they made some shit decision by making some shady partnerships, and because the CEO is transphobic/homophobic/can't remember
Apart from the usual bullshit and antifeatures it has, it's still a great browser choice, just like Firefox
-
Brave 🤮
I mean Mozilla's Firefox is 🤮 too... there's no perfect browser

I try to counter this by randomly downvoting everything

I don't like Mozilla either, but here are my priorities in a web browser:
- FOSS
- Privacy tools - includes ad blocking; I'd actually be okay with ads if they didn't track me
- Promotes open web standards - rendering engine diversity is critical here, I don't want a repeat of the IE era
- Security
- Performance
Firefox ticks all of them, and my issues with Mozilla as an org don't really come into play. I use a fork on my phone, but I use Firefox on my laptop and desktop because I trust the binaries coming from my Linux distribution maintainers (part of 4).
Brave also ticks all of them?
at this point, Firefox's development is not very much more open than Chromium's

Good for you. I actively refuse to use it or any of its derivatives to avoid endorsing Mozilla by giving them market share. Additionally, I find that Brave just performs better (and needs one extension less to be functional).

Exactly this. They're acting braindead and disliking things for no valid reason
Just massively spreading misinformation
-
How mich actual difference (minus the crypto) is there to base-chromium?
Afaik chromium is capable pf being a browser. Does that also have syncing or is it not capable of that?On iOS it’s one of very few browsers that has good adblocking built in
-
Also, their whole business model was (is?) just replacing ads with ads they get paid for.
Uh... no? It just puts sponsored backgrounds when you open new tabs or windows notifications if you opt-in
It never replaced ads in websites afaik
-
The fact that the dev behind brave is a homophobe isn't opt in though...

You can't always agree with everyone

funny thing is ban evaders(the ones that make hundreds of accounts for OF or links) use it for its anti-fingerprinting which is useful against reddit(temporarily) ability to read the browser. i used to temporarily, and kinda explains why my last acc was only shadowbanned much later than thier purges.(i was hit by thier AI moderation as soon as switched to a different browser fork of FF)
it has better anti fingerprinting than firefox? That's nice to know
