So you prefer the Chinese browser. And, Opera runs on Chromium. Have you checked the app store?
Thanks for the ping. Glad to see you survived the riots.
And Vivaldi just did a virtue signal...
What’s “the app store”? For phones?
I’m using an commercial/industrial-grade HP desktop Win-7 pro x64, and an old Samsung flip phone which only makes/takes calls.
It’s gotten very bloated since it first came out.

You can also get there through your browser extensions.

How did Brave doing this hurt your privacy/security?
It didn’t. It’s about disclosure, that’s all. That was my point.
Just switched FRom Firefox to CCleaner browser. Very much satisfied with it.
Try the CCleaner Browser and Startpage, The world’s most private search engine!

Really?
This is what you said “What’s a privacy minded luddite like me to do to protect my privacy and security? It’s damn’ near impossible.”
Was that just sarcasm?
Binance is one of the companies that advertise with Brave. I will load their ads to get the BAT. As long as they don’t send PII, I am not too concerned about it. But it is good to see that the legacy media regards them as a threat. IMO it means that Brave is on the right track.
Partially. If you knew me you'd know I'm far from a luddite and I'm very privacy minded. So it was more of a rhetorical question that didn't need an answer.
Bottom line is if someone like me misses details like those talked about in this thread, the average Joe who wants to move off Windows to something else like Linux is probably going to land in a similar position to the one they're in today.
Have a great day.
I’m way out in the exurbs, and there was no way I was going to counter protest a riot, but thanks!
The problem w/ some of these off beat browsers are a lot of financial orgs you may deal with do not let you use these. So on those Chrome seems to be the only way to go. I am a Pale Moon guy but a lot of videos won't run on it. Love to try one of it's spin offs, but having Multiple Profiles that carried through from Mozilla before they came political is what I need, I have multiple browsers w/ different bookmarks for that interest set.
Can you do Multiple Profiles in CCleaner's browser? BTW, I worry about them, you install CCleaner on your laptop, it won't shut off no matter what you do in sys manager, what anal exam are they giving you that you don't know about, I had to install it, too much..
In my attempt to continue with Brave on win7 I hit a dead end.
The Brave I got now eats memory and will crash my machine within 24 hours of running.
When I try the Brave embedded upgrade or update it fails and won’t perform.
So I close it and use Waterfox.
Gotta pay for those BATs somehow.
So long as the user's privacy isn't compromised by the redirection -- which is the whole idea behind Brave in the first place -- I say no big deal.
I don’t know - I’m not a sophisticated enough internet guy to even understand what “Multiple Profiles” are.
Download it and try, is all I can think of.
Good luck!
