A comment on Brave, the false sensation of privacy.

I like Brave, though I'm open to switching if there's a better alternative. Here's what I like about it:

1. Compatibility with Google Chrome Extensions. This is sine qua non (though I'd settle for compatibility with FF extensions).

2. Ad-blocking and reasonable-effort script blocking by default.

3. No apparent performance issues for my usage (YouTube, clicking links on HN, GitHub).

4. Integration with Tor, IPFS. Not a deal-breaker, but I do like it.

Popularizing IPFS and Tor to bigger user bases is likely the single best thing that brave does.

I use Brave and I have the exact same list of likes, and in same order of priority - if that is what you meant.
