They are an ad company just like Google except they’re also involved in crypto stuff and they have a history of pulling shady moves whenever profitable

They don't hide crypto. Everyone who uses Brave knows it uses BAT since OOTB setups expose you to the BAT tutorial lol.

>history pulling shady moves

Referral codes on crypto com. who cares.

The “allow safe ads” feature, or whatever it’s called, basically replaced the ads of the owner by their own ads

I know some website have more ads than content, but some site are just doing ads as it’s supposed to do. They earn income with it.

Replacing that income with your own well, that’s dirty

Misleading wording. The only ads they use are on the new tab page. Hundreds of companies partner with it like Verizon and what not. These are the Brave ads you turn off by disabling the sponsored image in your new tab settings.

That's like saying uBlock Origin devs are dirty for asking for donations.

DuckDuckGo is way better if you’re looking for privacy.

On the iPhone since they’re all the same I use Safari, with DDG as my main search engine.

I do have Firefox Focus as well for certain sites (you know the ones).

On desktop however I’ve been using Firefox for so long I can’t even remember.

DuckDuckGo lied about its partnership with Microsoft for analytics. Pass.
