Brave's aggressive marketing
Brave's aggressive marketing
Was reading an answer to the question about fresh Amazon tablet and saw this. They used up the question as a hook to promote their browser. Pretty sure I'm avoiding Brave from now on.
Q: Does the fire max 11 have YouTube app on it. A: I have installed Google Playstore , but I skip installing Youtube app . There is better option . Brave Browser in Playstore !! That thing has AWESOME popup Blocker and it's own integrated Youtube Ads and other Nuisances blocker . My point ? You don't need youtube on Fire max , You don't need Google Maps , You don't need Facebook App . Just Use Brave .
I really don't understand why people use and recommend brave. They've have had plenty of shady practices in the past and bundle crypto crap by default. If you want to block ads just install ublock origin on (preferably) any privacy respecting browser like firefox (or better yet librewolf), ungoogled-chromium etc
Maybe, but there are LOT of weirdly aggressive Brave fanboys out there that would probably say shit like this without getting paid. Not sure how they convinced people that they were so great. Brave is a decent browser but it has a sketchy history, just like the people behind it. Would definitely recommend staying away.
Have to agree with others that this looks like an episode of FanboysGoneWild, but there are reasons to question, if not outright ceasing to use Brave and they center around their CEO, Brendan Eich. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/22/business/brave-brendan-eich-covid-19.html
Look ! Firefox marketing ! Gotta boycott them !
I mean, there are plenty of reasons not to use Brave but this poorly-written, obviously-not-a-paid-review doesn't really rank up there.
I don't know what marketing campaign you think is going to tell a normal non-tech literate user to install not only a third party app store which they'd have to sideload through a complicated process, but also do so in the reviews section for a random product instead of just paying the 1/10th of a cent it takes to run an ad somewhere relevant. This post is legitimately so poorly thought out it frustrates me. Go get yourself evaluated for anxiety if you feel this distrustful of the world, my word it's insane.
Never quite understood the will for people to put so much reliance on the endpoint to filter things, at least if your talking about a device bot likely to leave home on any regular basis. It just makes it difficult to maintain cocnsistent results if you have to configure everything individually. A network level firewall + DNS filter of choice can cover a good amount of the problems of these type of things aim to resolve for everyone on the network, even if you don't get into the extreme ends of things.
Is this post paid marketing for Brave browser?

People realising apps are just websites in wrappers.
Vele apps hebben geen bestaansrecht, maar op een bepaald moment in het verleden zijn ontwikkelaars hun websites toch als apps gaan beginnen verpakken.
It replaces Facebook AND has integrated youtube ads? I'm there
Former brave fanboy here. This company is a fucking plague and they should be on trial for misleading their users.
