There's really no reason not to be using Brave browser anon. Besides the fact that it's faster than chrome, and comes with several crucial quality of life extensions built into the browser itself there's one big reason you should be using Brave: security.

Everyday hackers are using more sophisticated techniques to steal your crypto. Take this example of malicious websites simulating web3 style popups to steal your metamask info:

To malicious developers submitting fake versions of trusted apps all in an effort to steal your crypto:

Anon these are not isolated incidents. They happen again:

and again:

and again:
>https://shapeshift.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360013151359-Warning-Fake-KeepKey-App-Phishing-Attempts

How does Brave browser keep you safe you may be asking yourself? What makes it special that prevents these sorts of attacks from happening to it's users? Well anon you haven't been paying attention because I already mentioned it at the start of this post. All these things are built into the browser itself. An audited, open source, and verified web3 capable Ethereum wallet is literally part of the browsers code. No more worrying if the metamask version you downloaded is going to steal your crypto monies, because that's what Brave browser ultimately buys you anon: peace of mind.

That new Microsoft browser seems similar to brave

>> No.22299699

>>22299302
good eye anon. That's because they both use the same rendering engine as Chrome. It's what gives them their compatibility with chrome extensions and their inherent speed. Unfortunately because the Microsoft browser is so tightly integrated with the operating system it leaves it vulnerable to all the security risks that come baked into the windows platform.
