    From what I can tell, some people hate Brave because it’s simply built on Chromium and that alone means it carries Googles stink. Some people hate Brave because they think it runs mining software in the background. Some people hate Brave because the CEO is a dickhead. All 3 are irrelevant to how it actually performs.

      You’re 100% correct, none of this is relevant to the problem. However…

      Point No. 1 is irrelevant the most. Though being based on Chromium isn’t really a bad thing necessarily. Brave has removed all google stinks from brave. They have a full list of what they’ve done, and it’s very impressive.

      Point No. 2 is not true. Brave doesn’t run any mining software in the background. That’s a myth. No one in the world runs the amount of monitoring I do on my computers, be it network monitoring, CPU, etc. Brave doesn’t do anything like that. I would’ve noticed in a microsecond.

      Point No. 3 is the cultist reason for this.
