The article is unfair about the fingerprinting issue. Brave utilizes a technique they call farbling and it does a really good job at keeping websites from knowing who you are, in theory anyways.
People really love to attack brave, but it can be configured to be a very fast, private, and clean browsing experience. Faster than Firefox by a long shot, open source, decentralized encrypted syncing… I get there have been controversies, and it is chromium, but at the end of the day you have to use the tool that works best for you.
EDIT I must say I am disappointed in how I was (at the time of posting) the only one to actually start a discussion about the article’s technical claims, and instead of any rational dialogue we went right to blind downvotes and immature statements. I guess I expected more from this little corner of the internet.
You're not just licking the boot you're giving it the good sloppy
By boot do you mean chromium? Id love to use a gecko browser, but my busy life is too short to spend extra seconds every time waiting for pages to load. If that makes me a boot licker so be it I guess :)
