Yes I definitely see it. I just want to know if there was actual unethical activity on brave's part that I should be aware of, or if there is a greater context I'm missing.
https://archive.vn/hsgsS This was what got me to uninstall the browser. Sneaking in affiliate links is really not something I'd look for in a browser that claims privacy.
But regardless of whatever Brave or any other web browser that exists does. I wouldn't want Archive to be blacklisting anything on that basis because of their own feelings on the matters.
Basically the latter. If you use cryptocurrency and you punch in a website it adds something onto the URL. I'm not shilling but the main problem I have with Brave is archive.is links don't work. And then archive is all disingenuous about it claiming the browser isn't "supported" like they need to go out of their way to support Brave when in fact they're just being little bitches and refusing to serve pages
In continuing the spat, Brave browser is now blocked from using Archive, neither creating nor viewing.
They have Tor Browser in the list of suggestions, but the idea that they also put Chrome in there is pretty laughable IMO.
Interesting sidenote: blog.archive.today is blacklisted from being itself archived. A bit of a case of rules for thee not for me.
So, is there any legitimacy to this? Should I switch off of Brave or is the archive.is just pitching a fit?
Try visiting an archive link. There will be a full-screen "outdated browser".
If not, please, tell me which extensions you're running :)

It's more likely that they blacklist their own domains to prevent nested archives, rather than having an ulterior motive.
