I know a lot of FReepers swear by Brave. Not everything is always as it seems.

I'm one of them. Dang, this doesn't make me happy. Yesterday I learned that Ubuntu 20.04 installed an empty chromium package and some issues with snap installing by default w/o user knowledge or consent, now this.

This after I made the very conscious decision to kick Micosoft all the way out of my house and convert everything I had to Ubuntu Linux.

Just damn.

What's a privacy minded luddite like me to do to protect my privacy and security? It's damn' near impossible.

PCLOS the developer's a good ol' boy from Houston. It's one of the few left where you can build your own system.

You are still a long way to the good.

Don’t let “better” be the enemy of “perfect”.

How did Brave doing this hurt your privacy/security?
