If you are keen on personal privacy, you might have come across Brave Browser. Brave is a Chromium-based browser that promises to deliver privacy with built-in ad-blocking and content-blocking protection. It also offers several quality-of-life features and services, like a VPN and Tor access. I mean, it’s even listed on the reputable PrivacyTools website. Why am I telling you to steer clear of this browser, then?

    One day, out of the blue, I thought: “I should follow that guy who created Javascript”. A few weeks go by and soon I’m wondering “why the hell are there so many antivax posts on my timeline?”

    Was quite a surprise seeing that he was all in on the antivax stuff. I then unfollowed him and haven’t used any of his products since.

      I mean, he created JavaScript. It’s hardly a surprise that he’s a piece of shit.
