Is it me, or is brave more of a cryptocurrency platform that pretends to be a browser?

A lot of people don't really like the toxic discussions that crypto usually tends to devolve in. So it makes sense to block the browser if you don't want those people on your server.

I am no fan of Brave, but where is the logic here? Just because someone uses Brave, they will engage in toxic discussions on crypto? Am I missing something?

It's probably more of a "I don't like Brendan Eich" thing, but the maintainer can't really say that without sounding unhinged.

Then again, I actively go out of my way to be toxic on the internet, so maybe they have a point

[bb88]

The crypto world is full of toxic.

I use Brave for YouTube and other streaming, and I've never encountered any crypto stuff. They have/had their own BAT token that dealt with paid advertising but I've not seen it mentioned in quite some time.

As far as I can tell it's just another browser that blocks a lot of internet crap.

It’s my impression that it’s mostly a browser. But I don’t use it, because who needs another WebKit clone.

It's you.
