twitter.com/BrendanEich/st Brave uses DRM as part of implementing an increasingly massive ICO scam. The core goal behind Brave is preserving the advertising industry. I'm not even being sarcastic when I say that I deeply regret ever recommending Brave due to the useful work in it.

Turing Test unsolved across networks, news at 11. Meanwhile, $320B/year and growing flows through a system whose worst parts (which are substantial) let ad fraud grow to 20% or more (40%?). We use same tech native apps use, and we're the baddie? No.

Brave has done useful work on privacy and making an earlier implementation of an in-browser content filtering engine that's robust unlike webRequest. I still think it's a better choice than Firefox on Android, which is why I recommended it, but it's way too problematic now.

It's on a slow path to catching up in many areas on the security front. I'm not really talking about privacy issues, although I don't believe in having things hacked together via extensions via APIs that are fundamentally broken in terms of edge cases, failures and conflicts.

It varies by platform. I mostly focus on Android, where Firefox doesn't even have a content sandbox at all. On Windows, they have a decent content sandbox, not quite comparable to Chromium, but it's completely missing site isolation for the time being which is a very big deal.
