I tried Brave on my Linux Mint installation about 2 years ago. I could not get into any of my financial sites, nor watch videos on Amazon. I researched things for a while. Manipulating the settings to be able to go where I wanted to go looked like it would turn into a preflight check on the dashboard of a jet airliner. I gave up. When I tried to uninstall Brave it caused all sorts of problems on my computer. Then I heard that the developers/org were/are involved in some sort of shady crypto thing. No thanks.

I mentioned the shady crypto allegations with Brave because I felt like it opened me up to be hurt by using their browser. Years ago I heard that one of the Mozilla programmers was an antisemite. I’m a programmer myself, so I am always shocked when another I.T. person is dumb enough to be a bigot though I know from experience it isn’t about intelligence. It is about living in a mental corner and never thinking your way beyond it. Thanks for the description of Eich, I feel less bad about leaving Mozilla after all of these years. I hopped on the train at Netscape.
