    It’s probably not advertising that they are afraid that you will block but the trackers. They want to know what user is clicking where, how long you are on each page and what you ordered / not ordered.

    I love how you could literally be trying to give a company money and they still want more…

    Remember kids, adblock stops more than just the ads you see.

    Also, fuck yeah I’d download a chicken tender.

              Most of the article talks about the CEO and the company, the only criticisms of the actual product (the browser) is that it’s bloated, which is very subjective because one mans bloat is another mans feature and the affiliate link injection scandal from 4 years ago, which definitely shouldn’t have been done but at least it wasn’t malicious and now is gone.

              To be honest I think people on here dislike brave primarily due to ideological reasons, completely ignoring the fact that 99.9% of people aren’t hackermans™ and don’t want to install gnu icecat or librewolf with 7 different extensions. For those people it’s either chrome/edge or brave, the latter, even if not perfect is a way better option both for them and the internet.

    Are they making money selling food or selling ad spots? Stupid businesses don’t deserve to stay in business.

      They are tracking you so they can sell you more chicken. Remarketing.

    While this is egregious, why are you buying chicken on KFC dot com?

    I didn’t know that was even possible. This is a wholly unexpected mode of behavior.
