Brave has built-in wallet support and such, but I don't think it does any mining, does it? It just has its own opt-in ad system to pays out in crypto and is also owned by a turd.
I dumped Brave when it decided to install its VPN as a service without my consent. I had so much trouble ripping out all the traces of that.
I completely forgot about that. Yeah, it's fucked.
Imagine if you bought a Microsoft game, say Forza, and it installed a bunch of candy crush games alongside it without asking you.
It's scummy as fuck.
Vivaldi is similar but nicer.
Being owned by a turd is reason enough not to use it.
I use tons of software developed by people with whom I would probably disagree on politics.
Rejecting a program because one of the developers said something you didn't like is just childish.
That entirely depends on if there's an equivalent developed by not an asshole.
