      Brave is the best chromium browser, so no, brave is no spy ware.

      There are some sites that don’t work with firefox…

        Remember when Brave injected referral links?

        Remember when Brave lied about giving money to creators, so badly that Tom Scott had to call em out?

        Remember just a couple weeks ago when Brave got caught installing a VPN service on users’ systems?

        Remember when several years ago Brave added “the Wikipedia of the alt right” as a search engine, because the founder unilaterally decided on it?

          All shitty behavior and absolutely reasons not to use Brave or support them as a company, but none of those mean it’s spyware.

            I was mostly taking issue with anyone calling Brave the best Chrome-based browser, which is wild when 99% of the work on it is done by one ad company and the final 1% by a second ad company.

            Is it spyware? I don’t know. You could argue it is less likely to be spyware than Chrome.

        I think its something related to the CEO of brave. His unnecessary tweaks and changes make brave less private for users.
