If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?
anyone believing brave is good for privacy is quite naive
It’s good for privacy from the websites you visit, from itself is up for debate though lol
It’s good for playing youtube without ads and Netflix which doesnt work with my firefox setup for some reason. That’s all I use it for.
Weird, youtube with ublock origin is all I need to enjoy no ads. Are you using some additional scripts that modify youtube in some way?
I dont really have problems with YT in Firefox. Just use brave because it’s on my “watching stuff” monitor. Brave did seem to work better during that period where they were being more aggressive about ad blockers but I haven’t seen that for a while.
Ublock Origin on Firefox can also play YT without ads…
Netflix Idk
you should be able to play all the netflix content you need on pretty much any system. here’s a community for troubleshooting that.
it will not, however, get you a second season of anything worth watching. nothing can do that.
I’ve still not forgiven them for prematurely cancelling BoJack Horseman.
it felt, like, complete, but im genuinely shocked it got as many seasons as it did, not being dog shit. feels like that or ‘stranger things’ was the last thing to slip through.
but I can only take ‘stranger things’ on others’ word; never got into it myself.
Yea, I dont really have problems with YT in Firefox. Just use brave because it’s on my “watching stuff” monitor. Brave did seem to work better during that period where they were being more aggressive about ad blockers but I haven’t seen that for a while.
Bar better than chrome, edge or Firefox without modification
Why is everyone downvoting this? I haven’t used Brave as a daily driver for 3 years since I’ve been with LibreWolf, but my impression has always been the same, that it’s far better than stock Firefox, purely based on privacy (completely ignoring any ethical reasoning for not wanting to support Brave). Chrome and Edge being worse is obvious.
