I use it because it has a built in adblocker, and well it just works.

There is some crypto bullfuck and AI shit you can easily opt out off, and some talk about some CEO making homophobic comments.

You could've taken this as an opportunity to list alternatives like you did in another comment, yet you chose to attack OP for asking someone to elaborate. Maybe they even considered switching, didn't know if "some talk about the ceo" was based on facts. Maybe their question even implied that they wanted to know why AI is a bad thing for a company to focus on or maybe they just don't know that you can install (a limited set of) extensions on Firefox Mobile (including ublock Origin).

We need to get more people using alternatives that aren't Chrome and we both are disagreeing with the statements by the CEO and Brave's direction with AI and Crypto. But let's be realistic here: calling someone a coward isn't gonna help that goal and it's not getting our arguments across. Let's be excellent to each other.

They already knew the facts, they even quoted them directly.

They did? I don't see it in the post, but maybe I'm too stupid to use Lemmy :/
