Take in account that the CEO of Brave also invented the Javascript code you are using to comment there, co-funded Mozilla.
He have expertise (and a lot) on the web! He knows what he is doing!
And remember that his Brave Search achieves very good search results and they accomplished that in very little time. Meanwhile, e g Mojeek still cant accomplish a Google level so it is not really an alternative (as brave search is). In my opinion, this was possible at least in a large portion because a Brendan knows what he is doing!
And, AFAIK, he has done his best to maintain a good separation between his personal ideas and his work (AFAIK)
Iâm confused about which browser to use on my Android device. Some people advise against using Gecko browsers, while others recommend Brave, but some say not to use Brave. What should I do?
Brave would be a good choice, if you want to use something Gecko based Mull seems like a good choice. Or if youâll be using a Pixel+GrapheneOS then Vanadium is a good option.
No one here compared Brave to Mozilla but you. Mozilla gets enough flack as is, so itâs not like the privacy community isnât highly critical of them. This thread is about Brave, though.
Brave is Chromium and relatively private compared to other options on Windows. I like FireFox more but some websites I use are dropping support for it and the difference is noticeable. I hope there is a good Chromium option other than Brave soon because all of the AI, Shitcoin, and ads make the browser bloated. I also think it is short sighted to say that Eichâs personal views donât affect the browser at all, and Brave is popular with a certain crowd of people who are in many ways anti-privacy when it doesnât come to themselves.
Strong security, but that isnât why I framed my answer the way I did (âOr if youâll be using a Pixel+GrapheneOS then Vanadiumâ)
I said that because Vanadium is only available on GrapheneOS and GrapheneSO is only available on recent Pixel devices. So unless you are using GrapheneOS on a Pixel, Vanadium isnât an option.
The picture you attached and the comment I made are not analogue and the supposedly joke you are doing with the meme is going nowhere.
OP asked: What does Privacy Guides think about criticism of Brave Browser?
You said: âthe CEO of Brave is a shithead outside of just cryptocurrency.â (among other valid criticism).
I said: he can be, but that doesnât mean that Brave is bad or that he canât be trusted. After all, he have a lot expertise. Even you enjoy of that expertise! If your argument is saying âBrave bad because Brendan Eich badâ then you should say also âJavascript bad because Brendan badâ, but not. Either you are a hypocrite, or do you enjoy JS. So I would prefer not to think of you as a hypocrite, but as someone (as majority of people on the internet does) who enjoys JS!
Then you post that meme that doesnât have anything in similar with what was being discussed. In the meme someone says: you live in society then you canât criticize society. Other person says: âwe should improve societyâ.
So I will list SOME clear differences there:
You are not saying that we should improve Brendan Eich, but insulting him. Is very, very different.
You are not part of Eich, so even if you were actually saying something constructive and productive, it doesnât happens as in the meme.
You are not part of society in the same sense you are a user of JS. Society isnât created by someone, but by all together. JS, well, is created by Brendan. So do you enjoy JS? Why not enjoy Brave in the sole fact of Brendan personal opinions?
You are not improving anything, not proposing any improvement for Brave. You are part of society. Tell me, where are the users on society? Where the providers? (I am talking about society as a whole, so donât tell me: look to capitalism, or look to economic, etc). In contrary, in Brave thereâs a developer team and a user base. You are not part of the developer team, so you criticism to Brave doesnât work in the same way as if you were criticizing society. In one you are part, in the other you arenât.
You can opt out of using JS; you cannot opt out of being part of the society. Just look the verb difference: one is a thing you use, the other is something you belong to. Using vs being. Very different.
I never said âI am very intelligentâ not implied that on my comment. But thanks for the compliment! I appreciate that you answer things in a serious manner and not with memes because you couldnât write a point without jokes!
Next time stop thinking that by making jokes and posting memes on the internet you are making a point.
You said that Brave CEO is a shithead, and thus you donât use Brave for that reason. According to your reasoning, you would be also not using JavaScript, but arenât you using it? You seem to not understand what I am saying: if your argument is not use X because Y is bad, how can that be consistently applied to one thing and not another? In other words, what i was saying was that as you are using JS despite the creator, you can use Brave despite the creator. And that implies you cannot reject Brave because the creator, because you would need to reject JS because the creator. In other words, you cannot reject something (Brave) because the creator, because you are using something else despite the creator (JS). So, as you are using something else (JS) despite the creator, you can use the other thing (Brave) despite the creator.
Because not using JS in the modern state of the web is not feasible since so many sites use it. As their meme states, just because you donât like something doesnât mean that you have the ability to opt out of it.
Iâm not reading all that but from what I did read, you should change your name to iammisinterpretingthepoint because @exaCORE had zero trouble understanding that the meme was specifically directed at js, but you somehow did and decided to say how good Brendan Eich is and that Iâm not part of him or something. Again, didnât read your whole screed, just skimmed it.
