      Would you mind giving some context? Ive never used Brave, but my dad does. In which sense is it a “scam”? Would want him to switch if its terrible

        People care more about CEO’s opinion on politics and hate Web3 crypto more than they understand technical browser stuff.

        Brave is far from perfect and the company had their contreveries but honestly if you disable all the cryptocrap and tweak it a tiny bit so it does not show you ads and feature you don’t use it is the best chromium browser in regards to security and privacy.

        Ungoogled chromium by default can’t even compare, it’s not crap but brave does so much more than it’s better for the vast majority of users.

    Just because PewDiePie switched to Linux doesn’t mean we should listen to his browser recommendations

      True but he’s sparking more interest in FOSS so that’s still a good thing. I doubt his advice is perfect but if it gets more people started onto their own journey it’s a win.

    … I don’t think listening to random big influencers is a good way forward (in anything).

    (As to the list - others already pointed out everything, y’all nerds know shit! <3)

    What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He’s a yt star, not a privacy expert.

    I know it’s been said, but Brave is a hard no. Replace it with Ungoogled Chromium. I haven’t seen the video so I don’t understand why it’s in the “not ideal for a normal human” list, and I am biased since I use plenty of “not for normal” tools.

    Wait. He hasn’t crumbled into dust or whatever these “Offputting guy with shit politics who has an inexplicable army of irritating tween fans” youtubers do when they’re past their shelf life? I thought he was irritating when I was in high school. That was…what, thirteen years ago now?

    Not of his. This is a known widespread tierlist made by other person (I do not remember if this came from Reddit, a YT video or what, but it is well known)

      I’m considering switching to Floorp, I’ll need to check of Pewdiepie has his reasons and what those are.

        He barely touches on the topic of browsers, it’s like 40 second segment, i don’t think he even made the tier list.

    This is a random screenshot he used in hos video for roughly 2 seconds. This is not his tierlist.

    I’ve looked into it and it’s not even his tier list, just one he found online.
