    What you cannot turn off are the homophobic views of Brendan Eich, Braves CEO and co-founder.

        Holy shit… when the Browser itself becomes the Man-in-the-Middle attack

        I wasn’t using Brave at that time, and I probably won’t even care if they did that with me, my experience with the browser has been exceptional and I wouldn’t mind letting them get affiliates when 100% of my purchases don’t have any affiliate links anyway, I’m not losing anything and they’re getting money too.

        But yeah they shouldn’t have done the replacing part, if someone wanted to support someone’s affiliate programme and Brave automatically replaced their affiliate link it would of course make people angry.

        Though that happened years ago and probably wouldn’t happen today, I hope.

        That reminds of the Honey extension scam but they did the same thing with affiliate cookies.

      True that, but I don’t have any control over whose the CEO of a product I use, 99% of CEOs would literally sell their children for more money if they could

        Yeah you sure do, it’s called “don’t use their product”

        Companies don’t stay in existince with no customers/users.

          People need to learn to separate the art from the artist. I don’t care what the CEO thinks politically I have a thousand more things to worry about.
