Are your sources on this reliable?

Would you like our BATshit insane special?

>>30020338
my sources come straight from a website called neocities. maybe youve heard of it?

We memeing BAT now?

>>30020282
Brave:
>Built-in Ad-blocker written in C++ and Rust, partially based on uBO, and frequently updated
>Regarded as a top tier privacy and security-centric browser by credentialed academic researchers
>IPFS Support OOTB
>Optional integrated private Tor tabs
>Optional integrated lightweight torrent client for inspecting a torrent's content before you pass it off to your actual client (qBT, of course)
>Best in class protection against fingerprinting via complex entropic contextually driven anonymized randomization algorithms
>Completely FOSS
>No telemetry (unless you opt in to Brave Rewards)
>Extremely fast page loads
>All the extension and DRM'd media playback support of Chromium
>Regularly incorporates patches from UG Chromium
>Sync works independently of Jewgle and utilizes blockchain technology
>Optional, completely opt-in rewards program for people living in serious poverty who want to get thrown a couple of bucks for watching ads provided via an anonymized recommendation system, which is far better than the advertising model we are forced to deal with on the rest of the web
>The rewards come in the form of BAT, essentially a stable-coin which can be traded on every crypto exchange under the sun

TLDR: If you need a Chromium/Blink-based browser, Brave is far and away the best option. Hands down. No questions asked. If you need a Gecko-based browser, use IceCat. These are the two best browsers in existence right now.

The best part of this trashware is that /g/ rightfully hates it with a burning passion. Its literally 'eddit incarnate with a terrible deveopment history. Its such garbage. Fucking ADS IN THE FUCKING BROWSER THAT YOU NEED TO OPT-OUT OF HOLY SHIT LMAO.

>TLDR: If you need a Chromium/Blink-based browser, Brave is far and away the best option.
Wrong, ungoogled chromium. You can't dispute this. Brave is total trash but since we're in clown market it might moon. Maybe buy the token but don't use this shit on your own system.

>>30020480
this

We don't need to lie to FUD this browser.

>>30020991
based schizo hit us with the yahoo news geocities link

The amount of BAT threads and FUD lately. Its going straight to $100 isnt it.

oh shit we spammin threads now ?

if youre into BAT, look into $dec / decentr, super early into a superiour version with crazy potential

Brave is a scam guys, avoid BAT at all cost

>>30021144
Hahaha omg. BAT IS GOING TO $400 confirmed. So many fags and fudders in this thread.

>>30021181
it fills me with such joy knowing this is the best FUD they can come up with for the project unironically the comfiest hold

>>30021124
it's all shilling that's a huge sell signal. usually they just shut up and let it speak for itself. they desperate to get some suckers in before dumping.

Anons what did he mean by this?

*makes 99% of the changes and updates to the source code on which your project and many more depend to such an extent that it is almost completely impossible to resist the changes made by it no matter how horrible they are*

>>30020991
Brave is ungoogled Chromium though

>>30021599
Chromium is used so that Google can't fuck them (like they're on record doing to Firefox) without fucking themselves

https://tech.co/news/google-slowed-youtube-firefox-edge-2019-04

Thanks for clicking on 1000000 ads, here is your $0.02 in BAT

>>30021898
But Google can fuck them, and even in worse ways than that. Google develops almost all of the Chromium code that projects like Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Opera, ungoogled-chromium and more are based on (like all those apps made in Electron), which gives them the power to change Chromium in a way that would screw everyone at once. Google using its dominant positions in the different markets to make Mozilla their bitch is like grabbing them by the balls, but Google controlling the base project used by almost everyone else is like grabbing them by the hearth. These projects could make a hard fork if shit happened, but history has proven that maintaining an entire browser and engine by yourself is complex as fuck (even Microsoft failed twice and opted for using Jewgle's Blink instead), and would put them at a huge disadvantage, even bigger than Mozilla's since they at least have experience building stuff from the ground.

>0.095 BAT

What do

>>30023087
Market buy 10k suicide stack retard.

>How the fucj are you people making 5 BAT per day on just rhe browseer
im not, ive been using brave for about 2 weeks have under 2 bat in total

>>30022980
Good points all around but Eich himself basically represents pre-pozzed Mozilla; he was talented enough to work his way up to briefly being their CEO until they got rid of him for virtue signaling purposes and hired some woman that writes stuff like this (https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-deplatforming/).).

If anyone could implement a hard fork it would be him and his staff. Mozilla just exists to cash checks for Google and they are in no position to challenge them openly or covertly.

>>30023290
it depends where you are. dont go out of your way to get more.
most people get a couple a month, if its under that then consider moving to a place where you can drink tap water.

>>30020282
How tf do you make bat with his pos

>>30022980
chromium is open source, how would them changing, even outright deleting chromium hurt anyone

>>30020282

Shill comes, spreads FUD, no link, many such cases, SAD

>https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/brave.html

Holy fucking LOOOOOL. You didn't post the link because it's fucking garbage. "High spyware level" because the default browser is Google? You know you can change that right?

You're literally just shilling against BAT/Brave. I hold precisely zero BAT but you're just being a faggot.

>>30022136
>received $5.00USD worth of BAT so far just by using it like a normal browser over the last 2 weeks

*$120.00USD / year*

I know about Eich and nu-Mozilla. My point is that not everyone is capable of maintaining (let alone keeping it up to date with new "standards" and features) something as complex as a browser, and that being left by themselves would hurt all these small organizations in a really bad way.

>>30023603
Google is responsible of almost all of the commits made in Chromium, and therefore have the power to shape it to their liking without having anyone to oppose them. Brave (or any other company or organization) making a hard fork of the project would put them at a disadvantage because they would lack the money and resources needed to maintain an increasingly divergent code, specially when Google could start pushing new "standards" that only their particular flavor of Chromium support by default.

>>30024612
Wouldn't Google want to have as many Chromium users as possible? Including through Brave?

>>30020991
I do think ungoogled chromium is the best but brave is infinitely better than actual chrome or Firefox, and is not spyware or any of this other bullshit
