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

Wow, ketamine is a hell of a drug.

That's an interesting opinion to have

Turn it all off and it's no more in your face. The browser itself functions great when configured according to your needs.
Fuck their CEO though. Focus on the product. It works and consistently ranks as one of the highest orivacy based browser according to the EFF and multiple non profit sources.
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.

these jabronis think they deserve to be the Kings of it all.
And are perfectly willing and sometimes even capable to burn the world down for the position

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.

Firefox + ublock origin + android is the best browsing experience on mobile.

The thing I've started to notice is the further you stray away from a big box products and into micro custom solutions there is always trade-offs. So far as being unique and the hassle that comes with it maintenance.
The more hands off you are big corpo and I agree they aren't your friends, the more you have to maintain the software or setup personally. Or trust the person or people doing it all day everyday and never let up.
I trust other people mostly, who's job it is to do these things all day everyday. Having 3rd parties to audit them, than I could be able to, or would want to, consistently maintain software at the standard it requires with the fast changing landscape we have today.
While you gain more features to some degree, you lose in others like security against vulnerabilities and sheer eyes and minds on the code.
Fuck their CEO if he is off the wall. Focus on the goal of privacy and the tool you need, the rest is fluff. Use what you need first then want.

He's a tragic case but god damn if this isn't one of the funniest clips on the internet.
May he code holy c in heaven. Just imagine how much potential he had

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

Look, fool me sixteen times, shame one you. Fool me twenty six times, shame on you. We won't get fooled again.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on glue.

The fact that he invented Javascript alone makes him a villain. Everything he did after that is just complementary.
Finally somebody other than me says it!

Andreessen had fuck-all to do with Firefox. He had worked on Netscape Navigator (which changed names several times over the years and is now known as SeaMonkey), but he had left Mozilla years before Firefox, which was a from-scratch rewrite, became a thing.

While it's a Firefox fork, Ironfox works great for me.

Brave has always seemed shady to me. I mean it has built in crypto spam.

To expand on your second point in case anyone isn't sure what you mean:
Different browsers render webpages slightly differently, because they use different "engines". The most popular browsers are Chrome or Edge, both of these which use the Blink engine, whereas Firefox uses a different engine called Gecko.
Web developers want their websites to work for most people, so they develop websites that are optimized to run in Blink, which means they sometimes don't look as intended on Gecko (Firefox). It's not Firefox's fault that developers are doing this -- of course developers want to reach the most users possible. There's nothing wrong with Gecko, either -- if it were more popular, then developers would build sites for it instead of for Blink. But, this issue of sites breaking can sometimes turn people off.
(Conversely, I develop for Firefox first, so sometimes webpages I make don't render properly in Chrome/Edge. That's not ideal, but I don't care much. I think Gecko is the better + more consistent engine, and I'm not interested in chasing mass appeal.)

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?

Literally every other browser with uBlock Origin? I am still able to use it even on Chrome.
