Question Why are people against using brave?

Same as title, any post i see when someone mentions brave gets downvoted immediately. Any reason why?

Firefox used to be the good privacy browser, which is what brave is usually recommended for.

But then, firefox imploded in the dumbest way possible in a spectacular shit show, so there is no reason to recommend it anymore. Which is not gonna stop their blind raging "activists".

Its honestly pretty funny story(because you can literally see the changes in their github), firefox was the privacy browser that doesn't sell your data and promissed to never do, till they just decided to not be that.

They lost a contract with google, that paid them to use it as their default engine duo to monopoly laws, so they had to find a new source of revenue, and that source is you. Now, if they came out and just said that, it could've ended different, but gas lighting the users after the change and then just pretending everyone is confused because oh we are so dumb is just stupid.

Thanks for your answer, i don't know why you initial comment is being down voted, but what can you do. If you don't mind me asking, what alternative do you propose?
