It really isn't ethical to do that, I agree with that part, but I don't enable that option; I just want to browse without seeing ads. I also prefer not to comment on people who use an article from 2018 full of outdated information to try and prove that "Brave is spyware." permalink fedilink source parent [–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 1 point 7 months ago Doesn't is still use closed-source Chrome components? permalink fedilink source parent
