      Chromium. It also has done some shady shit in the past with crypto mining and refferal links.

        I know it’s Chromium, that’s why I said it.
        I didn’t know they have done shady crypto stuff, I started using Brave because I needed to use Chromium in school (frontend dev) but I didn’t want Crome or Edge… So Brave made sense to use.

          Fair enough. I’m sure there are better Chromium based browsers when it comes to that though. I haven’t looked into these though, so I can’t name them :p

        If you hate Brave that’s fine, but at least be honest. It never had any mining whatsoever. It has a feature that let’s you earn crypto through ads that is turned off by default. That’s it. You never have to deal with it if you don’t want to.

        I’ll give you the referral link issue though.

          I just threw on table what I knew without any experience with Brave… I removed the mining from it so it’s somewhat more accurate. I still find it concerning that it’s a feature to begin with, but that’s with me :)

          As a comment above mentioned, it has a feature to get cryto through ads that is disabled by default, but you can opt-in if you like. I personally find it concerning that it’s a feature to begin with
