Deploying Brave at a company?

That defaults to Crypto ads, Crypto "sponsored backrounds", Crypto wallet, some weird VPN

instead of Firefox (that many orgs already have in sccm/intune) + ublock origin ? bruh

Running anything other than Chromium as a company is dangerous; Firefox is still less secure than Chromium.

You do know there are 0day exploits on any browser, right?

Literally all of that except their sponsored new tab backgrounds is opt-in. The toaster popup ads, Brave News, using the wallet. All of it.

Wow, interesting. Thank you. May look into this if users are installing Brave, or to use it for deployment.
