Ok, so Brave Browser exists - if you download, you will see 0 ads on the internet, I've never really seen ads on the internet - even in the before brave times.

Fr tho, no ads - I'm not making money off them, I've got no invite code for you, I'm a human - I just don't get it. I've probably told 500 people about Brave, I don't know any that ever tried it.

I don't ever know what to say. You're not wrong, as long as you never try to do something else.

Brave is just a rebranded Chrome. By using it you’re still endorsing Google’s control of the web.

  • I was gonna say this. If Google decides to stop developing chromium then Brave is left with very few choices.

    As someone who has been using brace since it was first announced and very tightly coupled to the BAT crypto token I must say it is much less effective nowadays.

    I often still see a load of ads and also regularly have to turn off the shields for some sites.

    • How?? I watch Hulu ad supported without ads, YouTube no ads ever, screen never goes black, Viki ad supported free package - never seen an ad, Paramount ad package - never seen an ad.

      I never have to turn off shields - on one hand the number of times I've had to do that.

      Maybe I have something additional installed I don't know.

If everyone used Brave, Google wouldn't be a multi-trillion dollar company pulling revenues that dwarf many countries.

Or rather, they'd block Brave.
