While also supporting scams and homophobia

This is such an idiotic take. Yes i get it, Brave do try to offer some bullshit features out of the box, but there's not many (if any) that don't. You are not supporting scams or homophobia by using Brave.

You can very easily and quickly lock down Brave to remove all their nonsense. This is just the same like you do with other browsers so all good.

Yeah, company is shady, but browser is still grand for now if you do your own lockdown of features.

If you wish a browser rec, please go with Mullvad.

I am indeed talking about your support of a scammer homophobic company, not their slightly modified Chromium browser.
