That’s pretty accurate.

See the biases there?

Brave is filled with crypto junk

Sure, stay away from that “junk” bro.

Anyway:

when you can simply install uBlock Origin in Firefox and it is miles ahead of anything

I mentioned LibreWolf.

There’s nothing valuable on your post.

Because it’s the best browser out of the box. It has pretty good default settings, good anti-tracking features (see https://privacytests.org) and doesn’t need any extension installed. Every shitty feature (Reward, Wallet) can be disabled. Brave also has a clear business model, which is not based on user data.

LibreWolf, another fantastic browser, is a better choice when it comes to privacy, but lacks the security features that Brave inherits from Chromium and can’t auto-update unless you’re using a package manager. So it’s pretty much pick your poison.

The marketing and advertising arguments come from people with heavy biases. Mentioning Qtbrowser is a joke, and Ungoogled Chromium does nothing special to protect your privacy (and has CRLSets disabled for whatever reason, while Brave proxies them)

PD: don’t use the Tor feature on Brave, stick with the Tor Browser

Because right now, the Fediverse isn’t actually about connecting people, it’s about building walls around communities. People want to have their own space without dealing with trolls and content they don’t want to see and/or share. I’d say this is the price to pay for freedom. It shouldn’t be like this, but it is as of right now.

This is by far the best answer. Having the music locally is crucial, and sharing is even more awesome. Although this doesn’t solve the problem of music discovery. Spotify is very convenient to find new tracks you may or may not like.

I didn’t read every comment but I didn’t see a single racist one. Probably because they aren’t. You’re wasting your time, and wasting everyone else’s. Advice: stop seeing racism everywhere.

On the other hand, it’s a shame that people don’t trust this open source initiative.
