I found out about another reason to use Brave

submitted by MonkeysSmarterThanNiggers to technology 2.7 years ago (+4/-0)     (technology)*

Aside from having low RAM usage, being fast, focusing on privacy (built-in ad and tracker blocker), giving free tokens that you can use to donate to websites (by enabling ad notifications, completely unrelated to your personal information), being able to run all the extensions chrome can run, having a built-in TOR, being created by an anti-LGBTP and anti-lockdown/masks goat, etc., etc.,
I just found out about another cool feature: it has a built-in torrent client. Nice.

having a built-in TOR

Is it operationally the same as the Firefox fork directly from TorProject? Accessing both regular and onion sites with the same kind of security?

probably not, but it's still pretty decent

No way. Firefox based browsers have about:config

With that, the Privacy and Security can be tuned to BlackOps, and from the Tor Project, their browser config is highly tuned. chrome://flags pales in comparison to about:config

If youre a power user that likes casual onion surfing, Brave away, you know where youre goin. For real privacy, of course, your only option is the original Tor Browser.

I'm sure there's some reason out there not to use Brave

You've probably seen some leftie talking shit about brave because its creator is based. So for unkiked people, that IS a reason to use brave

I haven't heard about chrome extensions working on Brave though. Details?

they literally work... you can install them from chrome web store and use them like you'd do on chrome.

Easy there, fella. NO web browser is safe, secure, or has any kind of privacy protection. I use Brave because it gives the appearance of being less intrusive, but I have no illusions that my every move isn't being recorded and analyzed -- not by the creators of the browser, but by everyone else in the chain. Brave just limits one's exposure, but doesn't really provide real security or privacy.

You convinced yourself to feel good about using a Chrome skin. clap.

[ - ] Her0n 1 point 2.7 years ago (+1/-0)

How is it a chrome skin? I do t understand the advanced computer stuff so how are they similar? I used chrome before I knew better and I use brave now. Brave blocks every single ad, even on videos, and not a single website has detected the adblocker either…

Its built on Chromium, which is an open source project developed by Google and designed with advertisers in mind. As such, compared to other browser engines, all chrome skins like brave, opera, vivaldi, etc are built from the ground up to fingerprint users.

Brave blocks every single ad, even on videos, and not a single website has detected the adblocker either…

Brave is any other browser with an adblockedr installed. Its geared toward people who don't know how to install an ad blocking extension. It is not any more effective than ublock with chrome. Brave still phones home to google when it is launched, it still leaks your fingerprint in unblockable ways, and it still has the various advertising features that are baked into its Chromium core.

Chrome with adblocker doesn’t block ads on videos and website detect it.

Brave adblocker blocks everything.

Are you suggesting I’m lying?

[ - ] Kozel 0 points 2.7 years ago (+0/-0)

You're a fucking noob. What shit adblocker are you using?

Ublock origin is better than brave built in adblocker. It is also more configurable, safer, blocks more ads, etc.

Umatrix or Noscript function without whitelists and block elements you do not know exist.

I mean, isn’t it obvious I do t know when I’m saying I don’t know and asking you questions?

Is this how you talk to everyone you meet?

[ - ] Kozel 0 points 2.7 years ago (+0/-0)

ARE YOU GONNA CRY NIGGER?

[ - ] Her0n 0 points 2.7 years ago (+0/-0)

Lol no, just wondering if all of you act like this in person and if so, is that why people won’t listen to you?

[ - ] Her0n 0 points 2.7 years ago (+0/-0)

And you still haven’t explained it to me much, I’m beginning to wonder if you are knowledgeable on the subject.

[ - ] Kozel 0 points 2.7 years ago (+0/-0)

IF YOU WERENT A STUPID NIGGER MY EXPLANATION WOULD HAVE BEEN OVERLY SUFFICIENT, NIGGER

[ - ] Her0n 0 points 2.7 years ago (+0/-0)

Lol I’ll just research it myself since you’re such an awful teacher
