| 1477079 | 2021-05-10 03:15:00 | A friend has recently moved to Brave Browser and is very happy with it. I am on latest versions of Win 10. I currently use (for various purposes) the latest 64 bit versions of browsers Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera. Before I "charge ahead" and download Brave does any one have any comments about it? Also am I muddying waters too much by using so many different browsers? Guidance please |

| 1477083 | 2021-05-10 20:41:00 | www.computerworld.com An in depth article on it. Basically Chromium under the hood. Can't really see the point if it just substitutes it's own ads and am not fond of Chromium, I have Firefox and actual Chrome on my Linux... |

| 1477084 | 2021-05-10 22:01:00 | I use Brave but purely to run Facebook on it's own on Brave so that it doesn't invade my privacy Want privacy , dont use FB. Its that simple if you use the internet , you dont have privacy. FULL STOP. Using another browser wont change that. Your emails : they are scanned and analyzed , if its gmail(and some others) then your email is scanned and data used to target adverts to you. The NZ GOVT passed a law requiring NZ email hosts to copy and save your email in case a govt dept wants a look at what youve been up to. Your smartphones collect data . Thats why Android apps want permissions to things they dont need. Windows10 collects data . Even your printer is collecting data & sending that back to the mothership . Your smart TV , collects data . One brand of TV was caught recording conversations & sending that to 3rd parties Yes, even your TV is spying on you . VPN services are all to willing to collect data on your usage & give that to authorities , despite how they market their VPN service . Brave Browser (and others) , snake oil . We've been conned. Dont believe the hype . |

AND they Do keep everything for years, had "anniversaries " pop up from 10 years ago with posts back then. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 1477087 | 2021-05-11 03:35:00 | I have been using Brave as my primary browser for the past 6 months. I prefer it over any of the others out there :) Tor browser looks interesting. |

Use all those CC, MWB and others' on the other isps'. lurking. ps. shame MS is not as speedy, but then that man has been in the divorce courts for two years now, so what do we expect. lurks. |
