I never understood the appeal. Don't they replace ads on websites or something to that effect?
Brave claims to be so anti-data mining yet they share stuff with Google. Ok at least a couple years ago when I read about the tests done that showed this, as well as some articles on an affiliation they have with Google.
I haven’t used Brave since then. It’s Firefox for me only.
Since Google crippled AdBlock I've switched back to firefox. Funny to think about considering I've used Firefox when it was called firebird. I should probably donate to Mozilla at some point 🤔
You can disable the ads completely, or choose to get ads from brave to earn crypto. I did earn some good change for the time i kept them on, but its not really worth it.
