PC World: Brave browser’s newest tool swats away those annoying cookie pop-ups. “I appreciate and respect what the GDPR was trying to accomplish. The hours of corporate training and ‘please let us track you with cookies, we pinky-promise we need them’ messages that appear on nearly every website? Not so much.

Finally got sick of fighting Firefox's broken snap-based Ubuntu dist and installed Brave instead - so far I'm liking it a lot.
Given the direction mozilla is going, this seems like the best available choice to me. And their search engine seems nice too. Sure it's based on Chromium core, but at least that's all open-source.

Some recent observations with #Brave browser.

- On Android I've had it just close randomly while I was reading something. Reopening it took me to the welcome page instead of the site I was on.
- On desktop (Linux, Debian package) there have been times where it stopped responding and I had to force close it and leave it closed a while. Opening it again too soon resulted in it hanging again.
- For some reason today Bandcamp audio wouldn't play on desktop; worked fine in Firefox.

@mistersixt Aktuell bietet #Brave für mich sowohl unter #Linux als auch #GrapheneOS die beste Mischung aus #Datenschutz und Sicherheit. Weitere #Browser sind unter GrapheneOS #Vanadium und #Tor. Unter Linux #LibreWolf und #Firefox.

Ein quelloffener und datensparsamer Eierlegendewollmilchsau-Browser aus Europa wäre natürlich was feines.

"Brave verfolgt einen anderen Ansatz als herkömmliche Werbeblocker, indem es eigene Anzeigen einfügt und plant, ein eigenes Werbenetzwerk aufzubauen. Nutzer können für das Ansehen von Werbung mit Basic Attention Tokens belohnt werden. Die Kryptowährung BAT hat stark schwankende Werte und die Monetarisierung für Publisher ist kompliziert. Zusätzlich hat #Brave in der Vergangenheit mit verschiedenen Krypto-Unternehmen zusammengearbeitet, die in Skandale verwickelt waren."
