Literally just read Brave sucks above lol
I've gotten downvote bombed for suggesting Brave as a Chrome replacement since they have Ublock filters built in. Sure you need to disable a few settings after a fresh install, but at least they let you. Idgaf about what their ceo did 15 yeard ago etc. -- I'm not giving them money, I'm using a product which is familiar with what I used before, and has good ad blocking built in.
@red @tobogganablaze https://brave.com/blog/intro-to-brave-ads/ The ad blocker is there to give them the opportunity to pitch their own ad network.
And can be happily ignored. I've seen that thing just twice, once on my desktop and once on Android.
And it's opt in, not opt out.
My point still stands: it's a good drop in replacement for Google Chrome.
It's not the best, but it's better than staying with Google - a lot of people want a familiar hassle free replacement, and in that regard I don't know what else to recommend
