Lemmy doesn’t like Brave? Pretty broken in my experience.

Brave is a scam. It was already caught red-handed on meddling with people’s privacy, and as such, should be avoided at all cost.

That’s all I can say on the matter.

Lol, I told everyone years ago “Brave is shit, look at it’s business model, you’re gonna get scammed”, everyone was like “Naaaah, it’s cool, look how fast it is.”… I don’t even wanna say told ya now…

Can you provide some examples? An initial search did not turn up any privacy complaints, so I am hoping for either some better search terms or an article on their mishandling of data.

What query did you use, and what were the results?

  • “brave privacy mismanagement”
  • “brave browser sharing data”
  • “brave browser security concerns”

What I have gotten is a link to a reddit post that I did not click on, some articles about managing privacy settings in the Brave browser, a piece on how Brave accuses Google of sharing / selling data, and a collection of “what is Brave” type articles.

What sort of issues have you been having? I use Lemmy in Brave and aside from wishing that certain buttons were easier to access, I have not had any significant issues since the 0.18 update.

Must be my non android Chinese phone then, when I clicked posts they wouldn’t come up unless I refreshed the page. Couldn’t post comments. Had to switch to Firefox.

All phones either use iOS, mainline Android, or a fork of Android. In either case, it’s unlikely the OS causing this but Brave Shields just being a bit too aggressive. Try disabling it.

I use Vivaldi, and it works very well with Lemmy.

Have you tried disabling and/or lowering the aggression of Brave Shields for Lemmy? Only thing I can think of that’d cause issues.
