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

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

    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.

    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.

      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.

          • “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.

            Try…

            brave browser scam

            …but truth be told, the Reddit link should, probably, lead to useful links and discussions.

              Thanks! Much better results with that.

              As a Brave user, I’d like to know if I need to shop around for a new browser.
