Put it in your twitter bio. Just "working @brave". If I'm reading your opinion on software its helpful to know I'm reading the opinion of someone employed by a competitor without needing to dig through other parts of your twitter account.

He already does it on his other account — @BraveSampson.

Here's a screenshot of both accounts side-by-side, compare and contrast:

Obviously, if this original review were to come from Brave or a Brave-employee directly, it probably would have been taken differently than coming from a "grass-roots" individual, hence the intentional deception on his part.

Twitter explicitly allows one to have multiple accounts as long as you use them for different purposes; in this instance, it's very difficult to see what purpose this Brave-less account has (other than intentionally misleading the public by hiding the Brave affiliation whilst still talking about browsers).

There's no intentional deception here. My followers on Twitter know for whom I work, but that doesn't mean every tech-related Tweet is a work item. I didn't pump this post, I wrote it for the people who follow me on Twitter. Be kind.
