The Brave web browser is hijacking links, and inserting affiliate codes
@voltronic ik a lot here use brave but they have history of "things" kinda why I don't use it anymore and haven't for a long time now
i miss netscape navigator. also years that were not 2020
@evistre @voltronic let's face it though ever browser has pros and cons
more lean towards the cons than pros though 🤷🏻♂️
@voltronic @evistre android I use Chrome, Firefox with a few add ons, and Firefox focus when opening UrLs from other apps
Chromebook use Chrome
windows I use Firefox and TOR
I have tried the ungoogled chromium a while back can't mind why I got rid now lol
@voltronic @evistre kinds only use Chrome on android cause of the sync to my Chromebook
using the encrypted sync option with a passphrase obvs
@evistre @voltronic there are a few suggestions in that article/blog post to use other than brave
one a lot people miss is "Firefox focus" Android browser which is "stripped down" for privacy and security and is lightening fast with most URLs you tap on via other apps
works a treat when opening UrLs via other apps
just make sure you don't have any default browser set on Android device then you'll get a "pop up" asking which browser you want any URL you tap on to open in
@ecksmc
What are you using?
I've been pretty solidly Firefox since before they were called that. Recently installed Brave a few months back since a lot of my work stuff (GSuite) runs best on Chrome. Now I think I'll probably uninstall and use UnGooogled Chromium instead.
