It's pretty fair to dunk on Brave because it's Chromium. I don't want the biggest ad company in the world having the monopoly on how we see the Internet, and Brave perpetuates that.
Right? Why doesn't everybody see how obviously powerful it is to be THE main browser engine and thus how every single Chromium installation and further usage solidify the position of dominance, and thus to dictate the future of the Web (no less!) that it gives to a gigantic corporation? A corporation so big it is at risk of being split in pieces as it was ruled just literally weeks ago that Google had formed an illegal monopoly in its ad business?
Come on people, don't be fucking naive of course it's bad! Of course we SHOULD dunk on Brave and every other browsers doing the same!
