My parents are getting a new tv, and are asking for recommendation. I think all I can influence is the brand/model (not realistic to propose rpi and more complex systems). I instinctively avoid google/android and lean towards anything else open source, so probably LG WebOS.. But I had bad luck searching for more detailed comparisons. Maybe you have experience or opinions?

Yeah, nothing there justifies calling it spyware. By those metrics Firefox is also spyware.

It's also outdated af information.

Not the person you replied to, and I'm not calling it spyware, but the moment I saw crypto integration I immediately lost all interest in Brave as an option. I personally don't think any individual/group/org/whatever integrating crypto into their software is someone trustworthy (as mentioned my opinion), so I can understand others not trusting Brave either. Whether it does anything bad today or not.

I don't use Brave. I also don't mindlessly try to find strawman arguments not to use it. You don't need to trust the organization to use their open source software, if someone you trust audited it.

I think you're missing what I'm driving at, but that's ok, you do you.
