TL;DR company shady
The main 3 points seem to be: China-owned, predatory loan applications, and spreading themselves across too many concept/trend browser spinoffs. Honestly this is kinda old news and won’t stop anyone I know from using the thing. You can’t just say they’re “probably” harvesting your data for “nefarious” reasons and expect people to all jump to Firefox (as nice as that may be).
Also, Stop Using Brave Browser
Also Chrome…
Please, yes!! If anything will make a chance, that will. Google keeps trying to subvert the internet with their FLoC and Topics crap. And the other thing recently with the “trusted” web environment thing.
A lot of their plans get watered down but still…
I only use Brave if I need a Chrome based browser. Otherwise I use Firefox.
Sticking with Vivaldi if I need a Chrome fix
Consider using Ungoogled Chromium on desktop or Cromite on Android.
if I need a Chrome based browser
I don’t think Chromium has “gone bad”? They make a WIndows and macOS build too, not just Linux: https://chromium.woolyss.com/download/en/
I try to avoid Chromium based browsers as a rule because I don’t like Google being the de facto standards group by controlling Chromium.
Stop using proprietary bullshit altogether
Stop telling people what to do.
I don’t like that Opera now has an AI integrated.
I don’t know that this article is compelling. Their main source of information was discredited in the article.
What was discredited?
I am, perhaps, too judgemental.
Since Hindenburg directly profits from the company’s decline in stock, it’s not an impartial source of information, but the company’s other reports into companies like Nikola have held up to scrutiny.
Yeah, Hindenburg isn’t like a team of journalists or anything, but if they cited other sources in their report and it seems to be pretty accurate. If there were big issues then Opera should have been able to point them out, and that didn’t happen.
