it originally hitched itself as a crypto middleman but that obviously bombed so now they're just another browser

no one who's recommended it to me has given me a compelling reason why it's better than firefox so idk

thats it. they don't loving care about your 'browser' experience. They just wanted to build a vertical ad market, and in order to do that, they have to control the browser.

measuring the distance from inwood and not "the center of manhattan" is some f*shmech poo poo

you're realistically going from grand central to yonkers (grand central is metro north, penn is NJ Transit and LIRR) so somewhere between 14-17 miles depending on mode of transport is accurate

there are stops uptown and in the bronx but most people are riding all the way down

the basis for comparison was south san francisco, which is 0 miles away from san francisco.

we are not comparing it to, you know, N miles from san francisco financial district

the point is, as with south san francisco, yonkers is a worn-out industrial town that is really close to new york city

Specifically, brave is about replacing ads in websites with their own ads. I'm surprised nobody has tried to sue them for copyright infringement or something. Actually I want them to stop it before someone sues them for copyright infringement because that would probably set a bad precedent for ad blockers.

ublock is not much better than brave. ublock origin is the good ublock. i'm using adguard for safari now and ublock origin for any firefox installs.
