Uninstalled Brave and went to Firefox after that “AI training” article came out…:didn’t know about the anti-LGBT donations. Fuck Brave with a baseball bat. That would have been by reason too if I didn’t see the AI one
Glad to be away from the Chromium conglomerate too
Obtaining it legally is one thing. Using it according to the license is at least just as important. Specifically if they trained it on content under GNU GPL or Creative Commons SA licenses, I’d like the result published under these licenses too.
Last time I checked they were still injecting code in random pages (for example on old reddit where each post in the list of a sub had additional stuff that was a PITA to disable).
I’m supposed to trust BRAVE with privacy? Did I receive a massive head injury and not realize it?

FF had a pretty shaky time some years back with their themes and whatnot but man did they turn things around.
Their browser is fast, clean, simple and elegant. It’s honestly the best browser I’ve tried in recent years.
Super impressed and overjoyed they are still fighting the good fight!
What a terrible use for a baseball bat. I feel sorry for said bat.
Every AI company uses copyrighted material to train their AI and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as they obtain it legally.
If you think something being legal automatically makes it not-wrong, I don’t trust you on… well, much of anything, but especially privacy
