    My big grudge is their method of getting revenue. I’m not fond of ads, but replacing services ads for theirs means diverting revenue stream from creators to the company behind brave.

    And how did they do this? Why, man-in-the-middling root certificates…

    It’s not only stupid, but evil.

      This is just plain misinformation. Brave doesn’t replace in-site ads: it removes them. Brave ads are presented in system notifications, not in the sites. Also, you wouldn’t even need mitm attacks to do that anyway. Fucking liar
