I've been critical of Brave in the past, but I'm glad to see IPFS gaining more traction. IPFS getting browser based support is what's needed to connect in traditional consumers and let it take off.

Which criticisms? I've just started using it after Firefox's blog post

Peter Thiel (Palantir) is one of their main investors. that should raise all alarm bellas for a product that advertises itself with "privacy"

Which blog post?

Probably the one by the Mozilla CEO, "We need more than deplatforming"[1]

Pretty awesome. I switched from Firefox to Brave a few months ago and really like it. Chrome performance is really needed for all the heavy weight browser apps I use for my job and Brave paired with NextDNS form a really good ad-block team.

Am I the only one who has significant performance problems with Brave/Chrome/chromium? Is this an OSX issue?

There was a bug with our "Greaselion" component in versions prior to 1.0.41, which could cause some excessive resource consumption (usually for macOS users). We found and fixed it in 1.0.41, however. You can confirm that you're on this version via the brave://components page. Check for "Brave Local Data Updater", which should be up to date.

Neat. Still can't make the switch until they have an equivalent to Firefox containers.

You can run multiple profiles in parallel in Brave, and we don't allow cookies to bleed over into other domains anyway. That's the default behavior. It would be great to have tabs from different profiles in a single window, but that isn't presently supported. Our work is not yet complete!

It is not particularly surprising considering that the founder of Brave was fired as Mozilla's CEO and replaced by the current one specifically because of politics.

Perhaps this?

The Brave web browser is hijacking links, and inserting affiliate codes
