Brave Browser (HIGH Spyware)

# Brave Browser (HIGH Spyware)

Brave is a favorite browser among those trying to escape all the spying and tracking forced on us by Big Tech, but it still has a little spyware in it.

It is ranked with a spyware level of HIGH at neocities dot org, which is the same as Firefox.

Neocities Brave Browser review and ranking

Brave intentionally leaves some spyware in so you can still get things done online without much headache. Brave is a good browser if you want to cut down on the spyware as much as possible while still keeping most things functional. However, unlike Firefox, there is no way to mitigate against some of the spyware features.

Brave was created by Brendan Eich, the ex-CEO of Mozilla (Firefox) who was forced out of his position because he donated to the traditional marriage Prop 8 in California. Brendan Eich has also spoken out against vaccine mandates, so at least we know this browser has conservative backings, and isn't run by the leftist commies.

You can install Brave Browser on DeGoogled phones using the FFUpdater app from F-Droid.
