[QUOTE="oldschool, post: 909751, member: 71262"] I got a good laugh from this analogy. Very funny indeed. All the same, businesses need to make money as you know well since you are in marketing. Adguard and Brave/Vivaldi each have their own business model. The crux seems to be: "Will they be true to their promise?". Absent any proof, who can say that Adguard won't backdoor your machine or sell your browsing history with their VPN? or maybe it's a Russian government-backed operation? No one has presented evidence of this, nor shown Brave to be breaking their promise. When it comes down to it, everyone's got a plan to pay the light bill. Firefox takes money from Google and their "business" plan is flailing in the dark. There are trade-offs everywhere in this world: Firefox can't hike with you because they have only worn-out Nikes and can't afford new shoes. ;) Brave can hike with me on its promises of trust: to the person who opts-in to their ads and to the person who opts-out. I'd say the former runs the greatest risk, based on feedback in their forum. Adguard can't hike with me since it's the Ranger at the park kiosk: You can't hike unless you make reservations and pay the Ranger. In the end, everyone chooses their own poison. [/QUOTE]
