![]() ![]() Since they’re based on Google’s browser and web engine, Google takes development decisions over the 95% of Brave. Brave is dependent on Google and they’ll always be limited by this fact. ![]() The limitations are Chromium’s fault and Google isn’t going to do anything about it. Stup1d, isn’t it?Īnother reason to avoid using Brave is that uBlock Origin works best on Firefox and there isn’t anything that Brave can do about it. This means that you need to update the entire browser to fix a bug in the adblocker. I mean, what’s the point on making a “private” browser if Facebook’s scripts (that are everywhere btw) will track you?Īnother problem with their built-in adblocker is that it’s better for extensions to be separated from the core of the browser, since they don’t follow each other’s update cycles. Using Facebook’s and Twitter’s scripts is more than enough to track and identify you. Anyone who knows a bit about how JavaScript works and it’s capacities to track you without the need of using cookies will be laughing after reading that. In other words, sending requests and receiving responses without cookies or other means of identifying users does not necessarily create a tracking threat. Loading a script from an edge-cache does not track a user without third-party cookies or equivalent browser-local storage, which Brave always blocks and always will block. They’re whitelisting trackers from Facebook and Twitter, so they can use scripts in third parties’ websites to track you across the web. ![]() The problem comes when you realise that it has a hardcoded whitelist. Their adblocker is just a fork of uBlock Origin, which isn’t necessarily bad. But let me tell you a couple of things about Brave’s adblocker: One of the biggest Brave’s selling points is their built-in adblocker. I’ll give you numerous facts and counter-arguments that will prevent yourself from falling for Brave’s lies. People who claim this have fallen for Brave’s marketing strategy which consists on telling lies and flawed arguments. But the relevant part today is that Brave is advertised as a “private browser by default”.īrave has taken the false privacy approach similar to other companies (yes Apple, I’m looking at you), they use “privacy“ for marketing but in reality they provide a hypocritical service that “blocks tracking” but instead tracks you and profits from you.īut Brave is more private than Firefox by default Replace 1 with i in this link… I couldn’t post without changing it because of the word sh1tīrave is a chromium based browser, which comes with a built-in adblocker and with a “rewards” program, that is supposed to make you earn money. ![]()
