Pretty sure it’s possible to opt out

Mmh I see! I used a tool to convert the website to an electron package (for Linux), but the experience was just the same as using the browser so I just went with that tbf
I agree that ElectronJS is shit but the idea behind isn’t bad. See tauri, it achieved the same thing but better
Source: I’m a developer forced to also work with electron
You don’t have to rely on stupid “app” stores
What’s the difference to open it in your own browser then?
Yeah but it’s as buggy as hell
I love how somehow electron is the lazy way while web apps isn’t, even though electron is just an executable with chromium bundled
Which honestly makes sense, what’s the point of PWA on desktop?
Better this way honestly
tbf, out of all the programming languages c++ is the worst in terms of DX and readability. Even worse than java, which I despised so much
Don’t ask me, one day a shit worse than that (the spongebob video) popped up in my feed and I watched it… now I’m cursed to spread the curse too, so I won’t suffer alone
That’s fucked up for real
Fair enough. I stopped using chrome a looong time ago so no problem anyway
That snippet of code is browser agnostic, which means you have the same problem on chrome lol
Elon Musk was good, but after a failed experiment for the good of mankind he was deviated… now he is misunderstood, like Frankenstein’s Monster
It is still closed source nonetheless, which is a bit of a gimmick since nobody sane enough could read through most of a browser codebase anyway.
According to this website it is less private than Brave by default, more or less like Firefox
That said, I didn’t consider it before but I’ll definitely check it out later
You “suggested” a browser change + mass downvote just for using brave, lol
if you think opposing […]
I don’t, but I don’t see how using a free browser, more so disabling the ads, you support that person or the idea
Like, I could see a point if you paid anything for it (see: Rowling) but for brave you pay nothing so
I’m going to paste a reply I got in regards to Brave and why you should change to a different browser
just let people do whatever they want, wtf is wrong with you people
It’s still better than using Google / Edge, and it’s basically the only good chromium alternative to the aforementioned browsers - reminder that stock chromium is not good.
Beside, you forgot the most important point: they further the chromium monopoly, which while the engine is open source its codebase is too big so it is basically controlled by google
Nitpicks:
Brave is an advertising company, that blocks everyone, but them. Forcing over people and companies into their system.
You can disable all the ads.
They’re heavily in the blockchain ecosystem, with their own worthless crypto.
Depending on whom you ask, it’s a pro or a cons.
Brave, and its CEO is right-wing, lobbying against things like same-sex marriage.
See above.
You can, it’s nothing new
