Brave CEO rants about "lefties," "glowies," George Soros

I have more problems with uBlock Origin breaking the website. Also, it doesn't block other elements such as cookie walls and news letter signup garbage.
some sites that are anti-adblock will "break: with ublock orgin, and some with adguard or privacy badger, i just turn one of those off and its fine.

While it's a Firefox fork, Ironfox works great for me.
for mobile, but for desktop theres like zen,floorp, "librefox, maybe",,etc. they all still depend on mozilla to survive though.

Wow, ketamine is a hell of a drug.
usually ketamine would have an opposite effect, other things like alcohol and stimulants will amplify those things.

Someone's been munching Elon's Special K for breakfast. New marketing tagline just dropped tho:
Brave browser, because you'd be brave to use a browser built by a Nazi
and downing dom perrignon for breakfast lunc and dinner.

This whole thread is a Reddit-style two minutes' hate session that gets pissy about the language of his post without addressing the content.
Eich is right to be wary of US Intelligence infiltration of the non-profit sector, and his characterization of the sector's hiring preferences is probably accurate.
Also the image presented by the glowies concept is hilarious, and demonstrates again why the Right memes better than the Left.
this is the reason why you get banned from reddit, by posting false evidence that subs can easily detect, and you keep crying here or another site.

I never had any issues using ublock origin.
& Creating own filters in ublock is really easy.
For example i block YouTube shorts using ublock.
Oh my god why haven't I done this yet

these conservative actually think theres an actual boogeyman" left " in america.
A word's meaning is how it's used. Also yes, there are.
I think the important separation is not between left and right, it's between truth and lie, or between principle and momentary gain.

They stole money by adding donation links to content creators pages, then didn't give the donated money to the creators.
I don't know what that has to do with my question? I am not defending anything like that

Is there a good mobile browser that...
- Supports adblock?
- Doesn't have as many rendering issues as Firefox on mobile sites?
I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.
Ever since I switched to GrapheneOS, Vanadium has been working well. Never had a problem with Firefox + ublock, or Librewolf (except with a corporate intranet webapp that specifically required users to use Chrome).

Can't say I experienced rendering issues with ff mobile

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.

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".

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.
