Brave is the offspring of "libertarian" (sociopathic authoritarian billionaire supporting JD Vance) Peter Thiel.

Thiel, among other things, founded palantir, facial recognition software used by police worldwide.

He hates the western world. Hates democracy.

Openly states his plans to destroy the economy and implement a crypto financial system.

And, this is true, he's the current president of the bilderberg group.

He is not your friend.
He should never be trusted.
Brave is not the private browser you think it is.
By supporting brave you are supporting an authoritarian technocratic state.
I don't love Peter Theil by any means, and his association with any project is, to my mind, enough to completely discredit it.
But I get a little worried when it starts turning into references to the bilderberg group, and whatever that link is to NCIO.ca is just completely nuts, low evidence jumping to conclusions.
He certainly has crazy ideas, but I think it crosses the line into conspiratorial to suggest he was instructed by Germany to act as a foreign agent to sabotage the global economy.
Nico was a mistake, I meant to link another site. Granted. You can look for yourself that it was thiel who called for the run on the bank. https://www.axios.com/2023/03/14/founders-fund-run-silicon-valley-bank
But bilderberg group is real. Very real. (They had a meeting here, once https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/kanata-hotel-hosts-high-level-power-group-1.601298 )
And thiel is president.
Also, if you can find his manifesto (I'm having a hard time locating it ) he openly states everything i said.
