To reiterate the points:

Brave is by homophobes

Brave is by transphobes

Brave is by anti-LGBTQIA+

Brave promotes a cryptocurrency (which Drew has already established on why it's bad)

Options are out there. Brave is not the only web browser in the entire existence of this world (although the amount of independent web engines is a very major concern).

People using Brave browser AFAIK (please do not harass any of them):

Louis Rossmann (disregard that Louis says Firefox, I see more Chrome and Brave than Firefox in that)

Brodie Robertson

(Also, I will not accept donations through cryptocurrency like whatever Brave is doing. Don't donate me through that.)
