I talked about it on Twitter a while ago, which was followed with you folks spreading misinformation about Chromium and Android without Play Services. I took a deeper look into what Brave has been doing in particular with using SafetyNet attestation as a form of advertising DRM.
Conversation
You can whine all you want in my mentions about a couple tweets that I posted retracting my endorsement of Brave while saying I still considered it a better choice than Firefox. You did the opposite of changing my mind about not supporting it. I will actively fight you scumbags.

I'm not whining, I'm calling you either an ignoramus or a liar.

This is such a tragedy. Why did this have to start out so bitter and adversarial? You are both good people trying to do the right thing.

You can see where it starts down the wrong path at twitter.com/justsee/status where someone tries to make criticizing the project into a personal attack on and then claims I am casting shade on with a ping to bring him into the conversation. Clear concern troll.

I apologised for poor wording. As I said, I'm just an end-user who was interested in your / Brendan / Yan's discussion on this.
Don't appreciate the concern troll label just because I was trying to understand logical positions, challenge logical contradictions.

Also, from my perspective as a long-time follower of both of you for different reasons, it clearly went wrong around this sequence of events:

That's not what you are doing. You keep misrepresenting my statements and trying to spin them into something else. You were largely the one that created this conflict by going out of your way to troll. My issues with Brave after this conversation are 100-fold what they were.

It was a stretch to take your initial 2 tweets as a good faith attempt to communicate but I did that and started elaborating before having Brendan come here explicitly not wanting to hear what I wanted to say and just repeating nonsense over & over and arguing word definitions.

I will definitely be writing about Brave's messed up ad system, cryptocurrency, ICO launch, and the usage of DRM to try to make it work. I usually don't have the motivation to write blog posts rather than tweets and comments that are less formal and don't require extensive work.

Comment #1 trying to make my criticism of software into a personal jab at someone that works on security even though the problems are largely not their fault and may have fought against things I disagree with all the way.
I didn't say it currently has major security issues but that it has had them and they were majorly self-inflicted wounds with obviously terrible design decisions. As I hinted at elsewhere I dislike the overly complex maze of commits and messy ways they approach things in general.

Comment #2:

I said it's "starting to seem nefarious" which is not saying that they are literally malicious people but that it's starting to seem that way externally. The attempt at justifying it just reinforced that and I'd word it way stronger now...

Replying to @justsee @DanielMicay and @bcrypt
How is their intent nefarious? Have seen a lot of vague attempts at casting shade on @BrendanEich project with nothing of substance.
Criticism of monetising content is criticism of entire internet industry, not particular to Brave? In that context theirs seems like better model?

What's dishonest in your approach here is that I responded multiple times around the poor wording, rationale for pinging Brave CISO yet you respin anew here as if I'm being a malicious troll rather than interested third party who has followed both yourself and Brave for awhile.
