I use Brave and I actually really like it, but I don’t recommend it to other people because the crypto shit is frankly kind of embarrassing. It takes a fundamentally good piece of software and makes it feel scammy. I wish they would figure out a better business model, but it’s not like I have any ideas.
I’m comfortable just turning all of it off in the settings, but I don’t feel comfortable recommending it to people who are less technical than I am because I can already tell they’ll be like “You said this was supposed to be more secure why is it trying to sell me crypto”
EDIT: Still, though, ultimately whenever I have to use anyone’s “regular” device without adblocking and everything I’m shocked at how annoying the internet is, so Brave is doing its job haha.
You use terminal because you know what you are doing.
I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90’s movie.
We are not the same.
