Those sources… are… interesting…

You use terminal because you know what you are doing.

I use terminal because I want to feel like a hacker in a 90’s movie.

We are not the same.

I use Brave and I actually really like it, but I don’t recommend it to other people because the crypto shit is frankly kind of embarrassing. It takes a fundamentally good piece of software and makes it feel scammy. I wish they would figure out a better business model, but it’s not like I have any ideas.

I’m comfortable just turning all of it off in the settings, but I don’t feel comfortable recommending it to people who are less technical than I am because I can already tell they’ll be like “You said this was supposed to be more secure why is it trying to sell me crypto”

EDIT: Still, though, ultimately whenever I have to use anyone’s “regular” device without adblocking and everything I’m shocked at how annoying the internet is, so Brave is doing its job haha.
