    Brave seems more interested in selling me crypto than it does seem to be in providing s good browsing experience. Used it for like 2 months at the behest of a friend that worked there, didnt like it.

      For me, a browser being a crypto shill is worse than just being a privacy concern. Crypto facilitates an absurd amount of scams, and is also awful for the environment.

    Remember how Brendon Eich got booted off of Firefox for being a bigot, then created a browser to hawk crypto?

    On Android? They think that Firefox is a significant competitor on Android?

    This is like fighting another kid over a single chocolate chip while some guy is sitting on the other side of the room chowing down on an entire cookie cake. Ridiculous.

    Low blow for a struggling competitor. I would endorse aggressive marketing against monopoly holders, but Firefox isn’t it.

    “Brave Browser: Forget the Fox” absolutely reads like “Brave: Well, Fuck Those Other Guys, Right?”

    …come on, Brave, do it. Change the title to that. Or someone will eventually sue you for misleading advertisements. Because this is not very brave, is it?
