Nothing quite says “high-performance muscle car” like a popup ad for a Mopar Extended Warranty covering your whole center console. That’s right, Dodge Charger owners are now experiencing an exciting new feature: pop-up ads that appear every time the vehicle stops at a light. This absolute garbage feature was spotted in the wild, take a look here.

    Any minute now one of those brave-browser idiots will be along to tell us all how great ads are because they can make us aware of products that we had not yet discovered or remind us of products we didn’t know were near by.

        Brave derives revenue from advertising.

        Brave devotees are the only people I’ve ever seen defending advertising as a user friendly revenue model.

                I’d suggest you change to Firefox, but they have made some… troubling changes to their privacy policy recently, so it may be a good idea to use a debranded port of it instead.

                  Afaik that’s mostly FUD and was debunked.

                  I’m still not happy with Mozilla throwing money down the AI toilet.

                    If there was a debunking, I’d love to see that. I know Mozilla spun some damage control talking about how the change in terms didn’t really mean anything and was strictly for legal compliance, but, well, I’ve heard that one before.

                    I’ve seen no debunking. Have you got a link for that?

                    Not saying you’re wrong, just that I’ve not seen it :)

                  I already mainly use Firefox, BUT I need a browser that supports client certificates (aka mutual TLS). The desktop version does, but not the mobile one.
                  Also, once in a while, I need to do something through a shitty website that simply doesn’t work in firefox but does in a webkit/blink.
                  I usually just blacklist those and never come back, but sometimes it’s something I can’t avoid like taxes or gov related bs.

                  If y’all got a good suggestion, thanks

                you have 48 hours to uninstall brave or you will be thoroughly cancelled.

                on lemmy, using the browser you are currently using is tantamount to getting a maga tattoo

                you may delay the cancellation by 24 hours by promoting your affinity for linux installs, or swearing that you will switch to a non USA produced kind of ketchup
