"I trust these guys to not sell my data because they've only sold me data over there" is a hell of a take.

Someone has their identity tied up in this for some reason

I think that, if you're going to pretend to know what you're talking about, you should know what you're talking about.

I think it's a good thing that a person as to willingly opt-in to data collection.

It's really that simple.

They still sold user data without being upfront about it until caught, and are still running a shady-ass business. They're at the intersection of crypto, bigotry, and dishonesty.

Not using or advocating for Brave is pretty simple.

And then they did better, as a business should. It's all in their FAQ.

I'm not sure why there has to be a circle jerk of trolls any time someone mentions Brave, but here we are.

How much of a corporate shill are you? Do you own the company or something? Be open minded and try other things. Don't be a corporate drone. Don't defend the corporate doing as right , defend your interests first.
