Your friendly reminder that the Brave CEO is Mozillas old CEO, who was fired from Mozilla for being unapologetically homophobic.

    The scam company brave? The one that scams people? With their scam based crypto rewards that don't pay out? THAT brave?

    Whenever people tell me to use Brave, I know they fall for marketing very easily

    Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave's users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.

    How are they getting this data? If it's with telemetry this data doesn't seem reliable, I doubt that people who change the fingerprint setting don't disable telemetry.

    I used brave for a while, but left as I felt there was something fishy about them. Seems I was right

    I'd rather have the sites break to be honest

    I'd ask why they don't make it optional (I'm not a Brave user) but it seems it was.

    Another issue is that Strict mode is used by roughly 0.5% of Brave's users, with the rest using the default setting, which is the Standard mode.

    This low percentage actually makes these users more vulnerable to fingerprinting despite them using the more aggressive blocker, because they constitute a discernible subset of users standing out from the rest.

    Given that, I'm inclined to agree with the decision to remove it. Pick your battles and live to fight another day.

    I don't like brave browser from first use. Something seemed off.
