Brave no longer installs VPN Services on Windows for everyone

2

Only took them what? 5 months? That’s a lot of “accidental” VPN service installations.

3

I love Brave but I found very hard to trust them

4

I’ve been using Brave less and less anyway. It’s just turned into a bloated mess and you have to disable everything anyway.

5

I stopped using Brave … Why they bloat your operating system with something like this anyway!

6

I switched to Vivaldi a few months ago and I’m pretty happy with it.

7

I lost all the trust i had with brave over this, vpn service has been pain in the ass to remove from computer and from startup programs.

8

The fact it took them so long to address this issue was weird, but better late than ever I guess.

9

its good they dont force Installing extra stuff, but the AI focus is not great either

10

brave is the goofiest browser honestly

11

At least an improvement, unlike dead firefox

12

What about the already installed ones?

13

Why does Brave still has so tiny toolbar and icons in the top bar? It looks really bad on a high dpi screen compared to every other browser.

14

This is a very established pattern with them.

Get caught doing some sneaky thing, claim it was a “mistake”, and revert it only after being publicly exposed.

Never trusted that company, and they just keep re-confirming why that was the correct call all along.

15

And that would be the rational response to the way they run that business.

I agree.

16

I’m curious what you consider a “bloated mess” because it took me all of 30 seconds to disable the crypto and AI features

17

yeah, been using microsoft edge now with added hostfiles to stop tracking and shit

18

Reminds me of Microsoft Edge having that same problem and same direction

19

All they are doing is continuously proving that they are untrustworthy.

People manage data for every aspect of their lives using a web browser, including a ton of very sensitive, private things.

If there is one thing that is important in a web browser, it is that the developer is not doing “sneaky things under the hood” and then claiming ignorance every time they are caught doing it again.

Why do you hate on ai? I really want to know your reason because I really like ai summarization and stuff it adds to browser.
