Brave will not add Web Integration support

Firefox gang

Nitter link.

Also, the Chromium forks need to get onboard. I think Opera doesn't care about ads either so it will likely go against it but Microsoft will definitely add it to Edge.

Use Firefox :)

Their business model is replacing ads with ads they get paid for. Obviously they aren't going to like Google making that harder.

I don't agree with Brave's business model, and the shady stuff they did, but the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Had been using Brave for 4 years. Switched from it to Firefox after the Google DRM news came out. Firefox is awesome!

The DRM will be so interwoven into the core engine that they won't be able to remove it. chromium is a sinking ship

Brave have started their marketing spree to try and distract from their most recent controversy. Like clockwork, every time they do something controversial they start marketing to drum up new users.

Brendan is quick to act when it comes to $$$$.. and anti LGBT law

Switched back to Firefox myself. Highly recommend.

I don't get all the hate Brave gets. I understand that techies have some issues, but for me as a user I have nothing bad to say. Ads are blocked everywhere, including YouTube. There's an option to use tor...

If you don't like the crypto options don't use them. I always thought crypto was bunk, but I wish I bought a bunch of bitcoin when I first heard of it.

I don't understand.

There's loads of people for whom 3 or 4 sites make up 99% of "the web", and those sites will just stop working for people using browsers without WEI support.

I just don't really see how a browser could be viable in the future without WEI support.

Surely a browser with a market share 2% that of Chrome's (not total!) doing this will change anything. Surely when Google implements this and your bank and government websites start requiring your browser be "secure" users aren't going to just switch back to chrome where "everything just works".

Don't care, still won't use out of principle.

I just don’t trust Brave very much. They’re doing ok now but eventually they’ve got to make some money. Their approach means they have to invest significant effort to porting fixes in chromium over to their forked version, and they can’t drop behind or they’ll have at least security issues. I’m not sure how sustainable it is.

Brave is awesome on iOS where it will block YT ads! However, for regular desktop usage I've been using Firefox for the better part of 2 decades. Never really weaned off it actually.

Especially with the sync option, they are the perfect alternative to Chrome or any of the other commercial initiatives.

Good. The last thing we need is an untrustworthy browser (eye roll).

Brave has had my respect. Today, Brave earned my appreciation.

Isn't this just marketing? Brave and Vivaldi they already need to spoof chrome user agent or they get blocked in too many websites "you need chrome to enter"

If for example YouTube requires this scummy web attestation then they can say "only supported browsers can login" and there will be no choice because chrome is the biggest share

Isn't Brave doing this because they have their own way that they sell ads for coins?

I don't entirely approve, I think. But if it helps fight Google's domination of the market, fine.

Brave users remind me of Joe Rogan bros. I wonder what that Venn diagram looks like.

Does this mean anything, I mean they can just prevent us accessing to site. And even though this is something we dont wish many websites are going to implement web integrity; which lead us to being forced to use a browser compatible with web integrity if we want to use web.

I know there are always alternatives to services that are probably going to implement web integrity(mainly referring big techs' services) but we all sometimes use their services in some cases.

Just going to leave this here

I was going to link the controversies section but it seems to have been removed without any reason at all though the controversies are discussed on the talk page for the Wikipedia article that I have linked

Bold claim for a chromium-based browser.

Idk Brave is not a browser, but some crypto processig application. It tries to be more than browser, but I only need browser, so I am not going to use it.

Firefox seem to do the job just fine. <3

Yet they still don't switch to Gecko 🤦, despite Firefox being faster than chrome these days

If you use brave or any chromium browser you’re both an idiot and part of the problem.

Anytime someone proudly says they use brave, I know they’re an idiot and not credible on anything tech related

nitter.net also works

I don’t believe you.
