Brave has always seemed shady to me. I mean it has built in crypto spam.
brave is just chromium, i wonder when google wants to cut them off down the line.
Good thing I quit brave a few years ago when they did that Crypto shit.
Oh that queer hating fuck is still around?
Most of them are.
Someone's been munching Elon's Special K for breakfast. New marketing tagline just dropped tho:
Brave browser, because you'd have to be brave to use a browser built by a Nazi
How about just:
Brave: We're not!
and downing dom perrignon for breakfast lunc and dinner.
Wow, ketamine is a hell of a drug.
usually ketamine would have an opposite effect, other things like alcohol and stimulants will amplify those things. much like musk, he probably uses alcohol alot too.
IDK, ketamine is kinda similar to alcohol; more psychedelic. As someone who has always struggled with depression and has done ketamine, it does seem like it would be a good fast-acting, but short half-life anti-depressant (the afterglow lasts well after the buzz). Never knew anyone who abused it habitually, long term. Heard it messes up your bladder.
Right wing asshole shows to the world again that they never improved and are even more of a right wing asshole.
This is why I never used Brave anything longer than a brief look. Fuck this dude, I'm glad Mozilla removed him.
Jesus, this fucking paranoid bitch can barely string a sentence together. He must be neck deep in the techbro CEO k-hole...
Also, as an Irish leftist, he should leave my people out of his delusional and incoherent ranting.
can't believe the homophobic crypto nut would also be a right wing loon
crypto, homophobia, fits in with conservatives they all believe in these types of scams. either they buy into crypto, or they are peddling it-themselves.
It's always the ones you most expect

Is there a good mobile browser that...
- Supports adblock?
- Doesn't have as many rendering issues as Firefox on mobile sites?
I know the latter isn't Firefox's fault, but it still impacts the end user.
Can't say I experienced rendering issues with ff mobile
To expand on your second point in case anyone isn't sure what you mean:
Different browsers render webpages slightly differently, because they use different "engines". The most popular browsers are Chrome or Edge, both of these which use the Blink engine, whereas Firefox uses a different engine called Gecko.
Web developers want their websites to work for most people, so they develop websites that are optimized to run in Blink, which means they sometimes don't look as intended on Gecko (Firefox). It's not Firefox's fault that developers are doing this -- of course developers want to reach the most users possible. There's nothing wrong with Gecko, either -- if it were more popular, then developers would build sites for it instead of for Blink. But, this issue of sites breaking can sometimes turn people off.
(Conversely, I develop for Firefox first, so sometimes webpages I make don't render properly in Chrome/Edge. That's not ideal, but I don't care much. I think Gecko is the better + more consistent engine, and I'm not interested in chasing mass appeal.)
Ever since I switched to GrapheneOS, Vanadium has been working well. Never had a problem with Firefox + ublock, or Librewolf (except with a corporate intranet webapp that specifically required users to use Chrome).
Firefox + ublock origin + android is the best browsing experience on mobile.
While it's a Firefox fork, Ironfox works great for me.
for mobile, but for desktop theres like zen,floorp, "librefox, maybe",,etc. they all still depend on mozilla to survive though.
Cromite on Android checks both those boxes. Ad blocking isn't great, but the developer isn't Brave.
Firefox + uBlock Origin might be better if you haven't tried that specific extension before. It works more than okay for me, but I realize YMMV and that's especially true for non-flagships
Cromite doesn't seem to allow opening supported links in other apps for some reason
