So?
What I care about in this story is the technical issues.
Well technically the CEO would have an issue with you if you were gay
Lmao
Then you can not act on it and those of us who care about such things can. Does that bother you?
I mean it's derailed the entire thread so pretty much nobody is talking about the removed feature anymore.
Are you seriously complaining about different comment threads within a post? That is literally how this works. Anybody who wants to talk about the feature is welcome to. You are not restricted to one thread at a time.
Be real, you just don’t like the critique of brave.
I mean, it's more like I wanted to see more discussion about brave. It's not even like it's talking about things the CEO specifically did to the browser, it's just talking about the CEO.
And yeah I'm complaining about different threads in a post, when 3 comments are about the browser and like 15 are about the CEO.
If you have something to say negative about brave from this feature, that's cool, but I'm not seeing it.
You are spending more time than anybody discussing this. The person wrote one short comment and here you are going back and forth still. If you want to talk about the removed feature then talk about the removed feature! Nobody stopping you my dude
If you're a real person then you're very unlikable and antisocial
If you're a shill against Brave then you're bad at your job. I'm going to check Brave out now because of your offensive and unlikable behavior
I can assure you I am not in any way impacted by your decision to use or not use Brave
It makes you angry, and that's enough. I downloaded and am using it now, it works great so far. And if it is avoided by cruel people like you then all the better
Of all the reasons to choose a browser “somebody on the Internet disagreed with me and pointed out a time sink/distraction of my own making” has to be the most utterly bizarre I’ve heard yet. I’m glad it’s working out for you though. If you’ve accidentally stumbled upon a good solution, then great.
Choosing a daily browser out of spite as they remove a privacy feature is mighty perplexing, but hey, you sure showed me.
No, you showed me - that cruelty and bigotry are the main reasons that people oppose this browser
Enjoy living in your world of pain
Bigotry against what
Bigotry against empathy
Empathy towards who?
Human fucking beings
Which ones? For such a specific topic that we're in, you got crazy vague crazy fast.
"People want to talk about the things they care about when they should be talking about the things I care about!"
All moderators in a nutshell?
O...kay? I don't really care lmao
Please don’t tell me you wear adidas (founded by a Nazi), or drive a Ford (made by an antisemite), or listen to Wagner, (a racist), or drive a Volkswagen, or play Minecraft, or use wix, or eat at Chick-fil-A, or…etc etc
I don't. But "originally made by" and "currently being run by" are, in my opinion, two different things
Wait why are you on the privacy community when you don't care about the parts that are specifically related to privacy?
Uhhh...that's not a meme, as the other guy said it's virtue signalling. I don't even know why you would fallback on it being a meme since people generally agreed with what you said.
If anything I think that makes you sound like an ass but that's just me.
For those oh so super valuable virtue signal points, as if most of the services and products they use weren’t created with slave labor and run by people who’ve done far worse
Pay no attention to the butthurt shills.
