I’m still not seeing ads in brave browser, just in case anyone didnt know. On Android Newpipe also works and freetube for desktop too.
EDIT: I dont care about meaningless internet points but that being said. I have provided 3 options here. None of which have been refuted on technical grounds and have been hivemind downvoted.
If you have legitimate claims besides the usual “crypto scams” then please post the links. I’m happy to reevaluate my choices based on new information.
I would need to see evidence of data sharing between brave and third parties that I have not explicitly consented to or packet captures showing data being sent where it shouldn’t, commits pointing to malicious code etc…
Thanks but respectfully I am an adult and can make my own choices. I also use Firefox too by the way. Having said that Brave is open source. They disable a lot of google shit and the built-in protections are pretty good. The BAT ads are opt in and when disabled you dont hear about them.
I was simply making the point that YouTube and Spotify were adless experiences using brave.
I personally stopped using brave a while ago, but simply telling someone, in an unrelated thread, not to use brave isn’t constructive. Next time lay out the reasons why you believe they shouldn’t use brave and let them decide.

Something that holds water.
Don’t use brave browser

Thank you for standing your ground. You have my respect.
You get a 9/10 :D (joke)
Though I wouldn’t justify myself to the cult. You’re too nice for what the cult deserves.
Thanks for the kind words. I’m a firm believer in being the change you wish to see. Have a nice day 🤗
