The amount of people I see on Lemmy saying “Ugh Google is so bad with all their Chrome shenanigans! I install Brave on my own and all my family’s computers!” is honestly heartbreaking 🤦‍♂️

The browser's original purpose was to market their shitcoin wasn't it?

Firefox ftw

The thing that pushed me off of brave before joining this community was that the fonts were broken on NixOS lmao

[-] tajj@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Can't believe they're doing this AGAIN

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

This is a three year old post, friend.

[-] sebinspace@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

Shits getting recommended like it happened today

[-] KairuByte@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Yeah, it happens on “hot” when you get low enough, I’ve noticed.

Between this and Chrome pushing their DRM bullshit to stop adblocking in Chromium based browsers, it's a fine time to get everybody to switch to Firefox (which is a better browser anyways).

I’d really like some additional sources on this. But yeah. Even a sample of one is not good

Did you note that this is a 3 years old post m

[-] satanmat@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

No I had not. So thank you.

I hate when shit gets recycled. Now the next question is— are they still doing this?

[-] schwim@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

This isn't news. This has been Brave's business model from the beginning.

That would explain why Lemmy displayed it on the front page of my hot feed.

[-] Ilandar@aussie.zone 4 points 11 months ago

It's been happening a lot lately, nearly got me a few times.
