I care about my privacy, though I like it's UI. Is it really as bad as some say?

Ah, thank you, distrusting Peter thiel is at least tangentially relevant and certainly understandable(thiel-creepy brave-trustworthy?)

I would choose Firefox before ie or safari, but Firefox also sells personalized ads and tracks your keystrokes.

I like foss, and I like smaller companies. When another privacy-based browser comes along after brave sells its soul or gets too popular, I'll support them too.

Until then, brave is doing pretty good privacy-wise, especially compared to the mainstream alts.

Firefox also sells personalized ads

Is this in reference to sponsored content on the new tab page?

and tracks your keystrokes.

Telemetry? Or something else?

Yes and yes, you got it

brave has already sold its soul to crypto companies

and it does nothing that firefox with extensions can't do

Haha, crypto hate but at least equal browsing abilities with major browsers.

I totally agree.

[-] 0x2d@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

do you think crypto is good or something

I like crypto, but I feel much more strongly about It being a ridiculous reason to not like a browser.
