 Ga> Hello all,
 Ga> 
 Ga> Wondering if anyone is using the 'Brave' browser.  Been seeing some 
 Ga> stories about it, and it claims to prioritize user privacy and do a 
 Ga> good job at ad-blocking.  Installed it on my wife's Windows machine and 
 Ga> it seemed pretty decent.  Thinking about trying it on Linux but wanted 
 Ga> to know if there are any first-hand experienced user stories on it.

³ I avoid it like the plague for a few different reasons:
³
³ 1. It's a Chromium fork, thus polluting the browser market with false choice
³ 2. It's inextricably linked to cryptocurrency (specifically BAT)
³ 3. It's run by outspoken anti-LGBTQIA+ activist Brendan Eich
³
³ I currently use Floorp (a Firefox fork) with ęBlock Origin.
