Brave might be a fine browser, but the CEO is infamously anti-LGBTQ and was anti-mask during the pandemic. And the whole crypto-coin association and injecting affiliate links into search results… Everything about Brave makes me want to avoid Brave. Is there anything magical about it that make it any different than other chromium browsers that makes it worth supporting right wing crypto bros?
Well I am right wing myself so obviously I don’t see a problem with the “issues” you’ve listed. I think people should respect all other opinions, even if they don’t support them. Please let’s not argue about politics in this community as it is against the rules.
And the good thing about Brave is the advanced tracking protection stuff. Chromium does not have it by default which makes it much weaker than Firefox in terms of privacy. Difficulties of extension installation make it even worse. So overall Brave is a good option for those who need the Chromium base and want decent privacy. Because of that it also makes a great second browser imo.
The thing about crypto stuff is fair. I don’t see it as too bad but it is bloat and I’m personally not interested in it so I don’t like it either.
However I don’t use Brave myself as I don’t like its UI and the bloat. I use LibreWolf and Ungoogled Chromium.
I’ll say this, everytime an addon for privacy, tracking or adblocking or whatever for Firefox or Chrome based browsers breaks, Brave simply keeps working. It also consistently ranks high in every privacy/tracking 3rd party checking tool I’ve thrown at it or seen reviewed. I like that it’s a turn key solution, and I don’t have to rely on addons for added security.
I hate the owner and what they stand for, but the product is so solid that this is a rare time I will look the other way , that is, until something better comes along.

No, just lots of shilling and useful idiots.
