It is so difficult to find modern electronics without telemetry and ads. Smartphones, laptops, TVs, home routers, security cameras, cars, game consoles, e-readers, projectors, 3D printers, fitness trackers, speakers, and even some printers. Why can’t customers be free from this data collection and advertising? It’s not that we don’t care about it. There simply aren’t many alternatives, and the few that do exist are either more expensive or offer fewer features. Seriously, we need a list of products we can buy and use directly without worrying about telemetry or advertising.

The following list is updated at https://lemmy.ml/post/52706206. Please note that this list may contain errors.

I think it's way too rare for brave to catch strays like this. Like it's only at some nieche comment section where one person says things like "yea the founder is a homophobe". I only ever see praise about it (and some people calling it scammy here on lemmy lol)

    I didn't know about the homophobe thing. I'm talking about the whole secretly mining crypto thing they did in the past and then afterwards the sketchy crypto pay stuff they tried to pull off after

    Edit: and now I see the Brax phone controversy linked in the main post. I'm thinking it's not so strange Brave browser keeps popping up in problematic projects like this. Birds of a feather flock together I suppose.
