They have been selling copyrighted material

Source? I don't use it just curious.

I didn't ask YOU for anything, and I'm not opening your shitty link.

[–] Nobsi@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago

You asked for a source, on a forum.
If you ask for a source, you get a source.

I took a look at that article. You don't use a browser because it:

  • Runs ads to support the company
  • Disagree with the co-found point of views, worse, that they made a 1000$ donation to something he believed in?

A company like Brave is composed of a lot of people with different views. Being able to live in society and accepting each others views it's what makes democracy ... democracy.

Don't see any valid point to not use Brave in the article provided.

No, it's perfectly good and healthy to utterly and completely deplatform and disenfranchise homophobes.

different views

The opinion that LGBT+ people shouldn't have rights is not a valid opinion, and it's dismissive to simply categorize it as a "different view." Democracy means we have the choice to reject anyone who espouses such an anti-human worldview, and it is categorically and objectively good to do so.

Good to know you don't give a fuck about LGBT+ people enough not to use a shitty chromium browser, though. Blocked.

Being toxic af while I didn't even ask him for any source at all.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, fair. That was uncalled for. "Just search it yourself" never sits right with me, either.

[–] traveler@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tells me to search for myself, then provides a link with some Chromium bullshit to scroll to the targeted text while crying about not using Brave.

Would be better off not commenting anything at all.

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

True. The article I linked doesn't have any of that, though, and really highlights the reasons I wouldn't come near Brave with a ten-foot pole.

[–] traveler@lemdro.id 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Compared to Google, Brave as a company is a pretty trustable company. For what I've hear about Mozilla in multiple sources, there's really not a "good" browser maker company so I just stay with the non-worst.

Again, the co-founder views doesn't affect my browser decision at all, the company's actions do.

Fuck off, and stop replying to me.
