They just started showing ads again on YouTube when watching on Brave. Which is a very good way to get me to permanently switch elsewhere! Thanks Brave!

If you are on Android, you can try Cromite (a beta app by dev of Bromite). The app has less bloat compared to Brave.
Though the app needs some ironing as it has some missing/broken stuff.

That 1k donation, from years ago, is very usefull to someone. I dont know who cares so much to destroy this Brave founder, but that story for a 1k donation keep being repeated over and over.
Some people gave millions to have trans right banned.. we never hear about thoses people. But 1k, big deal!
It's not about the amount, it's about doing it in the first place and even more so defending that action afterwards but whatever...

Maybe it's me but some of the things in this articles make me question their reporting.
What makes sense to me is that they have been involved with some shady crypto companies and they have been opaque about their goals, with some of the developers disagreeing with the CEO every now and again.
What rubs me the wrong way is the focus on his own political viewpoint (this is holy irrelevant to the software), his involvement with FTX (almost no one saw the collapse coming. It was one of only a few crypto companies that people didn't expect to be that shady) and getting a cease and desist from a newspaper corporation (this is much expected and frankly idk if the cease and desist even holds up. This is not as shady as the article makes it out to be and legally this is not cotton dry at all iirc. IANAL tho ofc)
I agree it's not the best idea to mindlessly go on using Brave, but honestly this article is really not that good.
