If you use brave or any chromium browser you’re both an idiot and part of the problem.

Anytime someone proudly says they use brave, I know they’re an idiot and not credible on anything tech related

Don't care, still won't use out of principle.

I just don’t trust Brave very much. They’re doing ok now but eventually they’ve got to make some money. Their approach means they have to invest significant effort to porting fixes in chromium over to their forked version, and they can’t drop behind or they’ll have at least security issues. I’m not sure how sustainable it is.

Good. The last thing we need is an untrustworthy browser (eye roll).

Isn't this just marketing? Brave and Vivaldi they already need to spoof chrome user agent or they get blocked in too many websites "you need chrome to enter"

If for example YouTube requires this scummy web attestation then they can say "only supported browsers can login" and there will be no choice because chrome is the biggest share

Brave is awesome on iOS where it will block YT ads! However, for regular desktop usage I've been using Firefox for the better part of 2 decades. Never really weaned off it actually.

Especially with the sync option, they are the perfect alternative to Chrome or any of the other commercial initiatives.

Yet they still don't switch to Gecko 🤦, despite Firefox being faster than chrome these days
