I do not understand how a browser can launch in 2024 without caring for privacy. Arc is probably the worst browser ever in this regard, making it mandatory to have an account.
That's because the competing browsers are owned by some of the largest corps on earth that invest a lot in to making sure their browser has as much share as possible.
You may as well say that moviegoers don't care about art because studios only finance superhero franchise films.
Brave would grow more if it stopped stuffing in every crypto blockchain feature it possibly could. I swear, every 3rd update adds some new annoying feature to turn off.
I've been daily driving Brave on every machine and device I have for a year or so now... and I really wish they would have just stuck with the "Privacy Focused Chromium" thing. They've wandered far down this path of "lets just add every feature that comes to mind" and it's really not helping it's usefulness.
