RE: Greatly improve your security using NextDNS

I gave up on Brave browser shortly after trying it out (a couple years ago) because it was EXACTLY the same as my Chrome browser, except that it paid a crypto I couldn't legally trade in NY.

At the end of this post you acknowledge that Brave is forked from Chrome and will be susceptible to the same API restrictions, but then you still recommend Brave browser in the next paragraph. Could you clarify this at all?

It isn't exactly the same as Chrome, it uses Chromium open source project, but it doesn't send privacy data to Google, it's faster, and far more secure. It also has a crypto focus.

I'm confident they will work something out, Brave is heavily focused on security and privacy.

I haven't really had security problems to test those features, but as far as privacy, it was pretty clear that they were in fact sharing my browsing history. My Chrome browser and Facebook both started giving me ads that were clearly based on my use of the Brave browser, and I never logged into either Google or Facebook (or any other site for that matter) with it.

People who seem to know more about these things than me keep singing its praises, though, so it's probably time I gave it another look. This was at least two years ago.
