        i kind of doubt brave is less shitty than degoogled chromium. also, the whole crypto thing already makes it shittier than most others.

          I see where you are coming from but degoogled chromium is ridden of the “bad” stuff that Chrome adds, it does nothing to actively fix what is unhardened in both Chrome and Chromium.

          It’s also the more relevant criticism, the entanglement of Brave with crypto, but within the chromium ecosystem, it IS the best you can get.

          I use arch firefox btw.
