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.
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 :)
