As a piece of software, nothing. It’s an open source browser, and has an added bonus of having many privacy settings on by default. Not even firefox can say the same, it comes with telemetry, pocket and whatnot out of the box.

But there are some fair criticisms about the company and its administration. For example, there was an incident years ago when you signed on a crypto exchange, it would swap the sign on link for their own referral link. They claimed this was an error and quickly patched it, but I don’t buy it.

You’ll quickly notice that a lot of people on lemmy passionately hate brave. So expect a strong bias and, as a result, truths but overblown, half truths and misinformation. Don’t ignore what they say but double check them.

I think the others missed that memo

Google: “How cute, anyway as I was saying…”

Sowwy 🥺

Weird drama over nothing tbh

Communities are free to federate with whoever they want;

Consenting adults can do whatever they want.

Now give me a medal

When I had an Note 10 Lite, I had a xiaimi smart band. I still think that it’s impressive for the price, but the little guy had issues left and right with any app that wasn’t xiaomi’s own apps. (although sometimes, even those had issues)

Then I got an iphone, and later a apple watch. It just works, even with third party apps. Expensive as hell though

if you’re interested in alternatives with adblockers:

• adguard extension for safari, for general browsing
• video lite app for youtube, or any other video playing website. It’s a browser disguised as video player, but it’s really well done, feels like I’m using the oficial youtube app

I love this reply

The latest controversy was about Mozilla working with Meta in a project about privacy in ads.

Don’t really know if this is a good or bad thing

Safari doesn’t have windows or extensions support

Actually, it does have extensions. You can download them through app store in both iOS and Mac OS.

But it is more limited compared with chromium and firefox environment, and most known extensions in those don’t exist for safari, although there are usually alternatives with other names

There are adblockers extensions for iphone, like adGuard. It will remove ads on Safari (doesn’t work with other browsers unfortunately)

They do that, but not in that way. The websites will appear without ads, but once in a while their ad will pop up in a new window/tab. This is optional though

No, you can take your own BAT out and sell it. It’s been some time but I believe they have a function to sell directly on an exchange. Else, you’ll need to buy Ethereum and use it to transfer to any other exchange

Sometimes in some websites I would have unexpected behaviours with firefox. In a government website, some features would straight up not work.

Maybe things changed in the last few years, but there you go why I tend to stick with chromium based browsers
