We all hate you for your freedom. Truly.

Brave is a web browser created by an add company with ties to Peter Thiel.

But if that's not reason enough to avoid it, here are the three primary ones that come to mind:

1. The only reason Brave exists is because Brendan Eich is a homophobic piece of shit who was ousted from Mozilla due to his active support for ending gay marriage in California.
2. The privacy grift is a grift.
3. The crypto scam.

Systemd is free software. The four essential freedoms necessitate that you have complete control forever.

The only way that you could lose control is if your hardware manufacturer took away the ability for you to install your own operating system. But then the choice isn't going to be Windows or a Linux flavour personally blessed and tivoised by Lennart, it's going to be Windows or a brick.

Mostly pretty positive actually, having some reasonable assurances that you're actually running the software that you think you're running seems like an obvious thing you would want.

Here's an example of this in practice: https://grapheneos.org/features#auditor.

But I'm sure you know best. Time to cancel GrapheneOS.
