I think so. Not sure why - I've seen people saying 'just use a VPN'. Kind of blows that you need a VPN to pay for your VPN.

Chromium is open source. FireFox is considering it too. Just get over it. There is no choice anymore and this helps the site immeasurably.

Brave actually has an extensive list of steps that they’ve taken to make sure that the browser isn’t harvesting data for Google.

That's not the problem I have with it.
With Chrome having like 85% marketshare, and Edge soon moving to be chromium based as well, google's dominance over the inthernet just keeps growing.

It's still tied to google as far as I know. And this seems like a sort of defeatist attitude.
The bat system also simply doesn't work for me.

Chromium is an independent project and the base engine is Webkit which is from Apple.
If you don't want to use Brave because you're autistic, fine, just don't spread your faggot disinfo that hurts the Internet.

If it errors out give it some time. It took a day for mine to finally send the tokens, it wasn't immediate.

I thought Chromium moved to their own WebKit fork? I had heard something a while back about Opera contributing code to Chromium's new WebKit fork.

Yes, they call their fork Blink. They also don't use WebKit's JS interpreter but their own.

I've been using Brave on and off for quite a while now, I also use firefox but still, it doesn't work for me, it might be a location thing.
You're the only one being autistic here, I already said I think Brave is a good browser. I just prefer to use Firefox at this point.
There's also no disinformation in saying that the majority of browsers (With any significant market share) are now going to be chromium based and I'd rather that not happen.
And lol at saying I'm "hurting the inthernet".
Edit: And apparently according to the users above me you're the one spreading disinformation.
Google Chromium project leaves WebKit to work with Blink browser engine
The Chromium Project is splitting with WebKit, an open source project created by Apple in 2001. Google will instead work on its own rendering engine called Blink, taking the new engine’s initial codebase from WebKit, a practice called forking.
Google Chrome Breaks Up With Apple's WebKit
Google's Chrome web browser was built on WebKit, an open source rendering engine developed by Apple that also underpins many other browsers, including Safari and Opera. But on Wednesday, Google told the world it will no longer use WebKit. Instead, it's starting its own variation -- or fork -- of...

I'm looking for a Brave extension that will let me choose to block specific images. The built-in blocker supposedly does this but I can't get it to work. All the extensions I've found are for blocking all images at once. Any suggestions?

Just get an AdBlocker with custom rules like uBlock Origin and add a rule to block those image.s

I'm interested in writing some very large and detailed threads regarding various subcultures as a media rich forum is truly the best way to document them.
What's a piece of software that'd be good for hashing out my posts with? Would Evernote be worth it?

I mean, I am using Brave and I'm loving it (especially on mobile). Still, an internet dominated by Chromium-derivatives kinda hearkens back to the early-to-mid 2000s when Internet Explorer reigned supreme. Monoculture in software, especially internet-based software isn't usually a good thing. Still waiting on the BAT project to actually become an extension for Firefox so that way my own autistic ass is pleased.

Couldn't agree more. Firefox has gone completely to pot in Windows and runs even worse in Linux.
Update: Found that Brave can be a pain to install on Linux if you do it the official way because of some bizarre repo issues, but there is away around it that works on Debian, Ubuntu, and most other flavors of Linux derived OS.
Install Brave for Linux using the Snap Store | Snapcraft
Get the latest version of Brave for Linux - Community-maintained unofficial Snap of Brave Browser
snapcraft.io
Snap is a prepackaged, ready to use out of the box install of a program that works on Linux for anything, but the only downside is you have no control over what version of GTK is used for rendering the Snap packaged program, it will default to whatever your Desktop Manager uses.
If you can live with that, Brave works out of the box after following the snap install instructions and restarting after the install.

Not software related and more a tip in general. Many people seem to not have realized that they can plug many things into the same monitor at the same time, just switch the input from desktop to laptop or to something else, just like a TV, if the screen have multiple ports and isn't one of the cheap Samsung's with only one HDMI port that is.
It's a bit rare but some even have picture in picture, it is largely useless.

Just out of curiosity, are you running the latest (and x64) version? I saw a lot o people complaining about FF being slow but on either my PotatoWorkStation at work and at home I could not find this alleged slowdown compared to chrome.
