Cromite is an alternative

I do have an idea how "a difficult to kill, unwanted growth" could be put into relation to a war fueled by hatred.

In LibreTube, you can go to

Settings > Instance > Disable Piped proxy

I only ever had issues with the piped proxy, not with the app itself.

Yeah I’m not saying hCaptcha is good. It just shows that new captcha systems can become popular, and that Google’s hold isn’t as strong as it may seem.

Private Lock also hasn’t been updated for four years :(

hCaptcha is catching on pretty quickly.

Does it say that both the front end and back end are proprietary, or just the back end? I’d be fine with a closed source back end

No third-party services

Support for alternative routing

(following link)

alternative routing requires us to use third-party infrastructure and networks we do not control

huh

Your comment kinda reads like an ad.

That browser hasn’t been updated in a year.

All 3 systems use openssl and get attacked using Heartbleed.

(And even if they don’t reuse even a single piece of code, attackers can still just use multiple exploits.)

I hope this gets ported to Windows. I use Linux, but many of my friends don’t and won’t.

Hey, which engines are intended to be supported in the future?

Under src/engines I could find files for duckduckgo and searx. Are both already fully supported? Do you intend to support Google and Yandex in the future?

I especially find the community name useful in links.

I hope someone forks this and creates an i2p browser, similar to the Tor browser.

The benefit of using a seperate app instead of custom configured hardening is that (1) your hardening auto updates and (2) you’re less prone to fingerprinting. Also it’s easier.

I’ve read the article and I don’t understand the issue.

The founder is a homophobe

I don’t care. He represents Brave just as little as he represents Mozilla or Javascript.

It didn’t do ad replacements

I don’t care. Why should that be a reason not to use the browser? It doesn’t have a feature that no other browser has either, oh no.

Setting up a system to turn BAT into money isn’t worth it for websites, since not enough people use Brave to generate relevant revenue

I don’t care. If you care about maximizing websites’ profit, you should use Chrome (with no adblock).

It’s bloated with Web3 stuff

I don’t care. Browsers are extremely bloated anyways.

They partnered with Web3 companies

I don’t care. They didn’t try to scam anyone, they just offered services/features for those interested in Web3.

They added affiliate codes to URLs

I care a little, but not much. Claiming it’s anti privacy is ridiculous. The website can see you’re using Brave no matter whether you’re using an affiliate link or not. But it’s still something a browser definitely shouldn’t do without user consent (and an option to opt out).
