not at all. the problem with this video is that the guy has literally no clue what he’s talking about.

Since you seem to have the most knowledge about that topic, why don't you explain where he's wrong instead of repeating yourself?

I'm all for sharing knowledge and educating people. Repeating that other people don't have a clue about something, while not demonstrating you yourself have a clue about it, is just wasting everyone's time.

I would say way more than 70% of job ads lie.

Wait until the phone app on your phone crashes. It's been evident to me that phones in the future might not even have a phone app.

is there like a competent antivirus i could use: the system is freshly installed and i havent used any shady software;

There are several antivirus solutions for Linux, but you shouldn't need them if you do not execute stuff you downloaded outside of your package manager. The maintainers of your distribution are supposed to check if their packages contain viruses.

Yes, and the business practices of the company making it which broke my trust to the point of me assuming they wouldn't be above breaking the law in compiling spyware or other malware into their closed source product for profit.

You can’t deny its merits.

Yes, yes I can. It's proprietary and doesn't do anything better than Firefox or Librewolf. The latter even has an active community on Lemmy.

Their CEO being “X” and doing “Y” does not inherently make the software bad.

I didn't even mention the CEO, you must have confused my reply. It's the product being X and doing Y which I don't like.

Brave is known to take privacy (and security) more seriously than its contenders.

Nice, their marketing works. If you really cared about privacy you'd probably use something like Librewolf, which is not proprietary.

Excellent extensions like uBlock Origin heavily rely on Manifest v2 in order to do their bidding. Unfortunately, Chromium intends to stop supporting it.

It works without issues in Firefox and similar browsers like Librewolf.

cant get past about half a gig a second

Bruh back in my days we were happy if Usenet and Torrents went to half a Meg a second!

What does Brave give you what the other Chromium based browser doesn't have? Maybe you can install add-ons instead?

Thank you for the explanation. That sucks.

If it's only the monitoring you want, you can set up something with Grafana and Prometheus very quickly.

If they would only follow crimes where people actually get hurt with the same passion as when wallets of corporations are hurt.
