hey Brendan,

I can see you're getting a lot of negative feedback here, so as a hopefully countervailing force: this was the thread that finally got me to try Brave on my iPad, iPhone, and mac. I like it so far!

I never thought I'd use any ad blockers, purely on moral grounds. But so many sites have gotten completely unusable in the last year or so: half a dozen auto-playing videos, some of which follow you around the page, text that won't stop flying around the screen long enough for you to read it, etc. It's starting to seem like there is no other choice. If I used it for nothing else, Brave is a whole lot better than Safari on iOS for blocking unnecessary crap.

You really shouldn't get into it with trolls, though. You've had quite a few comments in the last day or so that ended up flagged dead. Not a good look for a CEO.

Negative? This thread is nothing in terms of negative feedback, and just by counting handles (not counting comments, esp. the now dead ones -- btw that flagged subthread was a net win too), I see way more positive than negative.

Questions are never negative and all good if not loaded/trick. Anti-ads or anti-token politics, not so much -- but part of the package deal. The ohmygodel comments were quite good and I'm grateful for them - hope to connect by email.

Thanks for trying Brave!
