Boo hoo! a giant corporate outlet owned by disney is being bullied! ABC leaving twitter is a good thing.
Again, the sheer volume of propaganda that's out there about everything that helps protect your privacy. People still think the Tor network and the Tor Browser are exclusively used by criminals.
Some people think that VPNs are exclusively used by criminals namely viewers of CP.
And it's because of shills, some from the government and some from corporations, mixed in with groups of people that spread lies like those that people think that.
Brave is a relatively good browser. In terms of privacy it's way better than chrome and edge. And I know for a fact that google, maybe microsoft too are trying to take control of everything by forcing everyone to use their own browsers so that they can be spied on easier and they're also trying to make it so you can't visit their own websites with an adblocker enabled.
Brave has adblocking built in and it blocks a lot of trackers from collecting your data too.
Even if the creator of brave is bigoted against gay people, which I still don't believe he actually is. Is he the one trying to restrict access to pro-gay stuff online? Is he the one trying to restrict people's access to anything at all? Google and Microsoft are trying to do those things if you don't use their browsers with no extensions in them
If he was a bigot back then, is he still a bigot now?
Again, I only ever use brave when I can't make something work with firefox. Which is almost never.
You can get web filters and extensions.
Adguard for desktop has pretty good filters for malware and phishing domains
Then there's also avira browser safety and bitdefender traffic light. Emsisoft browser protection, malwarebytes browser guard.
Firefox also gives you a lot of stuff in the about: config menu to prevent many different kinds of tracking from advertisers and the websites themselves.
AdNausem is another good browser extension.
I can't imagine why it wouldn't. The companies that make printers have always been scamming people with their printers and all the shitty things the printers do.
They're designed to be shitty and expensive on purpose so that you have to call the guy to fix it and pay an enormous amount of money every time the printer stops working by design.
Okay, so the creator of Brave might be a bigot and some of the stuff it does with crypto currency is a little sketchy? And the ads it replaces with the blocked ads are somewhat invasive?
So disable the crypto stuff and use ad-blocking software along with its own adblocking functions.
If a mechanic fixes my car and does a really good job, but he might have some shitty opinions of gay people, as long as he fixes my car I don't care about what he might think of gay people.
Everyone needs to be aware that there's propaganda everywhere. microsoft and google REALLY want you to use their browsers and people are tired of the data MS Edge and chrome collect.
I for one, hate that chrome constantly connects other shit to your google account with just one accidental click sometimes. Edge does the same shit, but brave is the only chromium based browser that doesn't deceptively do shit like that.
I still like firefox better and I only have brave for those rare instances where firefox won't work on a website. And I don't actually believe that the creator of brave is actually a bigot. Pro-liberty, Pro-privacy and anti-surveillance types are always getting smeared as bigots when they aren't.
None of the businesses in my town are offering anything higher than $12 USD an hour and then the managers will try to talk you down from that figure.
Kaspersky safe kids...Good to know to never use that.
Kaspersky premium is still pretty good, not perfect, but good.
This might be propaganda, we're still bombing them right now. you know. And by now everyone knows about all the infiltrators in activist groups and the feds hidden inside of protests.
Don't forget the stacks of bricks that find themselves mysteriously appearing all over the areas hosting protests, but not riots.
By the way...my favorite quote of all time.
