The issue around Tor is not a reason to avoid Brave. It has a lot of other good attributes for the common people. And I like it’s attempt to let you support websites while blocking intrusive ads.


The issue with Tor, and the issue with ad substitution, and other things are reasons to doubt the judgement of the developers.

Brave is interesting, and I do play with it. I utterly distrust it, though, and do nothing important with it.


Which browsers do you trust?


It does make you question their sincerity though. It should be in bold, in red at the top of their "tor mode" that it doesn't work as well as the regular tor browser.


Contribute to uBlock and bring no-ads to everyone instead.

having brave control which ads you see, will lead to the same awful situation when adBlockPlus was stolen for profit: any company could pay to be whitelisted.

Contribute to uBlock Origin [0]. uBlock was also stolen for profit [1] and takes money to whitelist ads.
