Brave is currently shitting the bed on me in what I fear is not an April Fool's joke, so I'm soliciting opinions. What browsers are you all using? What do you trust to not spy on you? Which browsers aren't thoroughly infected with ideological rot?
Obviously Google Chrome is a poisoned well, but are there any out there that pass muster?
This post from the Brave forum MAY explain some of it. Dude there says it's Google, trying to get people to turn their adblockers off. Well, joke's on them. I already uninstalled uBlock. Still get the crashes.
If I go to YouTube with Brave's shields and protections turned off globally, as soon as I click on 'Aggressively block trackers & ads' it crashes without a murmur. Same as if I open a thread on this forum that has an embedded YouTube video.
Are you also on Windows 7/8? I'm trying to finish a huge, old project before I yank the old disk from the laptop and replace it witn a new one on which I'm gonna run Linux. Since these operating systems are no longer supported I that means that Google's newest bug/feature will never get patched out of our versions of Brave.
Yeah, I'm still clinging on to 7 until something forces me off of it. When Steam kept working it kind of killed the urgency of building a new rig so that project has returned to the backburner.
