| schestowitz | In which case you should probably use Opera versions prior to Nov 2016, when the operation was sold to the Chinese. Since the original version of Opera was Win95 only, the use of MS resources should not be a surprise. | Nov 29 18:25 |

| schestowitz | i would say the neocities page makes a fairly good argument against brave, but summarising it as “spyware” may invite scepticism more than awareness. only because theres a very high threshold of what is considered spyware these days. | Nov 29 18:25 |
| schestowitz | i find it very obnoxious that windows and mozilla make the user go to such great lengths to be sure they wont get updates-- it sounds like brave is no improvement on that, which is disappointing to say the least. that sort of business shouldnt be tolerated from any person, let along a free software user. but since all the mainstream titles do it, its hard to get anybody who already trusts theirs to care. | Nov 29 18:25 |

| schestowitz | @tomix@diasporing.ch Auto-updating, to me, is not spyware though I admit that it would suck for an application to update to a version which disrespects your privacy without your consent. The fact that Google is the default search engine is meaningless considering how trivial it is to change that setting. Besides, just about every browser other than Edge defaults to Google because it is the most popular. As for whitelisting Facebook and | Nov 29 18:25 |
| schestowitz | Twitter, it most likely did that as a result of how powerful both of those platforms are and how inconvenient it is for people to figure out how to get them to work when they are blocked by default. In the end, Brave aims to be a replacement browser for everyone, not just nerds. In the end, Brave itself is not spyware by any stretch of the imagination. | Nov 29 18:25 |

| schestowitz | They try to bring this browser to the users because of their blockchain-based advertising platform. | Nov 29 18:25 |
| schestowitz | And I just don’t like browsers making all kinds of connection on their own. | Nov 29 18:25 |

| schestowitz | You don’t have to use their advertising system. In fact, it is disabled by default. If I have to consciously turn on a supposedly unethical function, I don’t see how it is problematic. | Nov 29 18:25 |
