Google Starts Tracking All Your Devices in 8 Weeks

Why anyone would use Chrome blows my mind a bit. Brave is a superior browser in every single aspect of a browser and as of rn - you do not see ads on the Internet.

It's such a no brainer, I can't comprehend it.

Are you OK with Brave using Chromium as their base?

Brave is still Chrome, you’re just kidding yourself.

Because Brave is just trying to build their own ad-network under the guise of being "privacy" oriented. It is a conflict of interest trying to get profitable selling user data while also claiming to block it. When first installed the their own ad and crypto stuff is enabled-by-default. Then throw in a few nefarious incidents, such as the affiliate link-hijacks a few years ago, and it is hard to trust them.

No browser is safe from capitalistic rot at this point.

Ads in and of themselves don't mean a browser isn't privacy-focused. In fact the most privacy focused one I can think of, Duckduckgo, is monetized by ads. All of Duckduckgo is. They're just not personalized.

I use Ungoogled Chromium (download from Github) that has all the tracking code removed. Only downside is updates are not automatic but otherwise runs flawlessly.
