  • Honestly, mostly cause I’m busy. I’ve been using brave for years. I work 9-5. When I’m not working, I’m spending that time either on a side project or with friends or family. And it hasn’t bothered me enough yet to make the switch. Generally I like tinkering, but for some reason this specific thing hasn’t interested me much recently. I’d rather spend time customizing neovim lol.

    I also went down a browser fingerprinting rabbit whole a few years ago. It became pretty evident to me that the more I try to customize my browser experience, the more unique my fingerprint becomes. It’s impossible to avoid. Here a really interesting article on how you can be fingerprinted even without JavaScript.

    So I’m just trying to live my life. I see zero ads since using brave. I don’t have to think about some complex combination of browser extensions, because the built in ad blocking just works. I turned off all the obnoxious crypto stuff on day 1, and I haven’t seen any of it since.
