  6. No trolling.

While also supporting scams and homophobia

So, I support abusing women because I like The Shining and Stanley Kubrick was a loud jerk and total dick to Shelley Duvall during production?

Well he's dead, and IIRC didn't donate to anti-women organizations. J.K. Rowling is a better comparison.

If you want to pirate Brave Browser, I don't think anyone will mind.

Do worry about this troll. I use Brave and don't feel bad. You can find things you don't like about everyone, if you go looking.

This is such an idiotic take. Yes i get it, Brave do try to offer some bullshit features out of the box, but there's not many (if any) that don't. You are not supporting scams or homophobia by using Brave.

You can very easily and quickly lock down Brave to remove all their nonsense. This is just the same like you do with other browsers so all good.

Yeah, company is shady, but browser is still grand for now if you do your own lockdown of features.

If you wish a browser rec, please go with Mullvad.

I am indeed talking about your support of a scammer homophobic company, not their slightly modified Chromium browser.
