What is their reputation? Genuinely asking, I’ve been ignoring Brave since ever, but lately I thought I should evaluate it for broken sites that depend on chromium.
It also has optional ads to pay you in crypto. I view 99% of crypto as a scam btw
What the hell is wrong with tech bros and other people’s genitals? How hard is it not to be an asshole and leave people be?
Thanks for the info.
People who promote crypto are usually scammers (they also usually promote their own currency), but in general it's a very useful tool. Considering you have to give up an arm and a leg to use SWIFT nowadays, crypto offers a fast and cheap way to pay someone across the border. The price is that you need to know a thing or two about the technology, else you'll pay the same or even more than with traditional methods.
