If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

        Do you see LibreWolf on here? Do you see Brave on here? Do you see Vanadium on here?

        Even Firefox, of which LibreWolf is essentially a reskin of, is at 2.6% and considered niche

        Remember that, by virtue of us being here on Lemmy and talking about all of this, we are also a niche group of people. We don’t represent the average person, even if we might be the ones who influence them with our knowledge.
