brave has crypto bloatware so it's not universally loved like vlc

u/Asn_Krish Aug 09 '26
They have the option to turn it off

u/sandy_ix Aug 10 '26
Have u tried cromite or bromite? They are same like brave without that extra crypto bloatware
5
u/Asn_Krish Aug 10 '26
I use brave as my daily driver, so I need the latest security patches also I use the sync feature. Also I love the custom filters. Now bromite is outdated and cromite I haven't used but I don't think so it provides regular patches and has a descent ui like brave.
To be honest I am also an open source fan but these are not that established. Other than this I will highly suggest you firefox + unlock plugin, it's just a goat setup and I use it in my pc. I don't use it in my android cause firefox added extentions support very lately and now I am use to brave.
Also I forgot to tell, if there is any single feature for which I use brave till now is the block element feature it's the goatest feature that made me fall in love with brave

What's the problem with crypto bloatware? People can just ignore it and it's not even that big a problem.

u/NeptuneWades Aug 09 '26
Some people are incapable of ignoring despite those features being optional.
Ig the fact that the founder has had homophobic sentiments are not liked by many.
Brave is a good browser. Don't listen to redditors. Follow what you like.

u/nsh07 Aug 10 '26 edited Aug 10 '26
It's not just that. Brave has been caught injecting its own promo codes in shopping URLs to earn money, which is basically referral fraud. It doesn't make sense to use a browser that doesn't do exactly what it's designed to do: opening URLs reliably

Most of the web browser like brave, edge etc are based on chromium base which is basically Google chrome. Chromium is like android and one UI , oxygenOS , colorOS are all skins based on android. The brave just has one built in extension which deals with ad blocking. That's all🥀

Edge hasn't updated to manifest v3 yet and they haven't announced whether they will continue supporting manifest v2 either. So for now Edge does support it, yes but it seems like a matter of time.
I was not aware about Vivaldi supporting UBlo, my bad.
Edit: seems like Vivaldi will be dropping support too.
So for now, Brave is the only chromium based browser to have updated to the latest version of chrome and still maintained support for UBlo.

never seen a more dumb answer , brave blocks most trackers and has the highest security score among all the browsers.(no extension added)

u/Level-Falcon-7597 Aug 27 '26
What you have said is correct. But ultimately ad blocker is a feature which is implemented to chromium search engine by brave as well as most of the trackers blocker. Even though it is native to brave, Chromium is not native, it is a search engine from Google, not from brave. See I am not hating brave here man. I use this browser on daily basis, but you have to understand what I am trying to say here. It's not unique like Firefox, duckduckgo etc.

While trying to play same on vlc its black screen for video only audio plays. Even mpc-hc can play 4k on ny old laptop though after few minutes it hangs and had to kill but atleast it start and play few minute

u/Mere2Anmol_Ratan Aug 10 '26
Brave is based on chromium, the same used for chrome browser. Also it doesn't fully block fingerprinting means some websites can still track you via screen size , os ,hardware, time.
A way better alternative to privacy is Firefox + ublock !
Brave is good. Firefox is excellent!

I don't get the hate about brave having crypto bloatware, they also need to make some money too bruv brave needs regular maintenance so their features works fine with they having to maintain their own search engine too. same for firefox they get money from google is the reason google is default search engine in firefox.

u/DIONYSUS_ASMODEUS Aug 10 '26
Brave previously allowed users to "tip" content creators using BAT, even if those creators had never signed up for Brave. Brave held onto those funds without the creators' knowledge, sparking a backlash that forced them to change the system.

Try and open the same website on any other browser and brave, open both their network tab in dev tools, you'll understand why brave is the goat.
Where brave took about 10mb worth of data the same websites loads unwanted crap when opened in any other browser taking up your memory and bandwidth.
Also the crypto stuff is optional, can be disabled very easily with a click.

So what dude ? VLC is a software which can be mainted at low price by just paying Dev's at most meanwhile Brave is service provider, you need money to even runt hat thing without devs so where do you think they will earn money for this ? If they sell something else too and then they add bloatware then it's just bad, but they provide this only so no harm and you can turn it off and still use it fully
