I'll never understand the normies that use Brave. They're like "it keeps my data private" blah blah blah. Don't trust nothing unless you can see it's code. Also really irritates me when they start recommending it to other uneducated people.
The problem is that there are too few eyes on the code, and Brave is not taken seriously in the cybersec circle, unlike how Firefox is used as base for Tor Browser.
Also, Brave's developers are malicious in intent, adding spyware, crypto junk and malware all the time, and posturing a lot in media to look good. Honeypot botnet.
