Oh no! The browser that forked the browser that a browser made by the largest ad vendor in the world is based on in order to be able to serve different ads is legally threatening a browser that forked it in order to remove said ads?
Did I get this right?

The brave people have always seemed kind of scummy to me. This just reinforces it

Brave sucks in general. It’s has too much bullshit built in. Yes you can disable it but easier to just use a better browser.

Ungoogled Chromium with plugins > Brave

This is from 2020, I might have to look into whether they abandoned it in favor of ungoogled chromium

tbf they only asked to change name. using a name like braver that is so close to brave is bound to cause confusion. it was the case with streamlabs obs.

It was made by a free speech company that supported neo-nazis and white supremacists. They also wanted to replace the coin system.

In April 2019, Dissenter was removed from the Firefox Add-ons website and the Chrome Web Store for violation of their policies that causes the creation of the Dissenter web browser.
Brave never threatened anyone.

I’m so glad someone said this. It’s why I switched to LibreWolf, then more recently just straight-up tweaked Firefox. Mull on mobile.

Yeah I wondered the same. Brendan Eich is not exactly a saint even if the critic is a shitpost platform like Gab.

It’s https://rentry.co/notbrave (?) At least your link ends up on 404, and this one has the content I expected.
