| Thank God for the Brave browser. For those disliking their built-in adblocker, there is a Manifest v2 opt-out specifically for uBlock if you need it. |

| Peter Theil was an angel investor in Brave. That alone is all the reason privacy-minded users need to avoid it. |

| ▲ | fragmede 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Because Peter Thiel gave them some money, there's some secret backdoor code that's sending all your information to Palantir? | | |
| ▲ | rwz 6 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | It's quite likely that Brave itself collects data on your usage and shares at least some of it with Palantir. This isn't such an outrageous assumption to make here. | | |
| ▲ | EbNar 43 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | There's no need to make assumptions. The source code is out there. Please, show us the relevant commits which do what you said. | |
| ▲ | tredre3 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Telemetry can be disabled in Brave. Any kind of history/bookmark syncing is opt-in. You're just spreading FUD unless you have evidence that Brave funnels usage data in secret. | |
| ▲ | shooly 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Firefox also collects and sells data to no one really knows who. https://github.com/mozilla/bedrock/commit/d459addab846d8144b... https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/ | | |
| ▲ | rwz 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | I mean sure, but there's a bit of a difference between "sells data to no one really knows who" and "sells data to no one really knows who AND PALANTIR" which the original commenter seem to be flagging as a problem. | | |
| ▲ | inigyou 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | "no one really knows who" is probably also Palantir or someone who resells to Palantir. | |
| ▲ | shooly 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Well Thiel investing in Brave once at the beginning doesn't necessarily mean that Palantir is getting any data now (even though it's presented as if it was a fact in other comments here). It's probable, but really it's just speculation, just like anyone can speculate about who's getting data from Firefox. But at least with Brave, the initial funding information was made public, so there's already more information available to users in comparison with Mozilla. Mozilla just said: "there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners" - that could mean literally anyone. |

| It's good but I find they EOL devices/OS's earlier than Firefox. |

| Brave is great. Works across windows/mac/ios/android/linux. |

| It's certainly better than stock Chrome but Firefox becoming relevant again is still the ideal option. |

| Isn’t Brave just another Chromium variant? Chromium is detestable. In whatever form it takes. |
