The browser's original purpose was to market their shitcoin wasn't it?
Firefox ftw
The thing that pushed me off of brave before joining this community was that the fonts were broken on NixOS lmao
Between this and Chrome pushing their DRM bullshit to stop adblocking in Chromium based browsers, it's a fine time to get everybody to switch to Firefox (which is a better browser anyways).

Did you note that this is a 3 years old post m
No I had not. So thank you.

Can't believe they're doing this AGAIN
