From article:
If you have the Brave Browser installed on your Windows devices, then you may also have Brave VPN services installed on the machine. Brave installs these services without user consent on Windows devices.
More reason to ditch the crypto bro browser.
Just use Thorium
What’s the difference from Chromium? Main “selling” point?
This thing is blazing fast. And when I say blazing fast, I mean freaking blazing fast. I’ve never seen a browser this fast my entire life. Lol It’s chrome but 10x faster. Give it a shot.
I’m considering it, but how does thorium handle Google’s recent Web manifest updates that break true ad blockers like uBlock origin?
I’ve been pretty happy with the customizability of librefox with the userchrome.css and ublock still works with YouTube.
Well, you have two options. The same developer of thorium does have a Firefox one and it’s called mercury. Blazing fast, too. Or you can install adblock detection bypass extension on thorium. It is an extension that’s made to work with chrome alongside ublock origin to bypass YouTube adblock detection. In fact, I literally just ran into that issue today and the other extension fixed it.
