#12As if I needed yet another reason to not trust Brave. They keep jumping to each new shiny thing in tech, when they just need to keep to the core mission of a privacy-first browser.

#13Great, so now I can tell it "Block all cookie prompts on all sites, disable all javascript, and if what I click on doesnt react as it should because of turned off javascript, run the javascript code behind the element just that one time." ? No? So what is the chatbot actually capable of, telling me what is the weather gonna be tomorrow? Is it also able to tell me what the weather was yesterday?
My point being that AI chatbot could be incredibly powerful system, if always weren't implemented in the most basic way.

Yeah, I've noticed a strange subset of companies who are eager to add the "big new thing" to their products every once in a while, no matter what the thing is or how it's relevant to their main business. While I haven't paid attention to Brave much, I've seen some other companies jumping on AI just after hopping off the NFT/Crypto train from a year or two ago - whenever I see that, it's almost guaranteed that they don't actually care about AI or have any experts working on it, but just want to seem all cool and up-to-date.

#15Earlier quoted context omitted.
Nobody records your IP when you confess your sins to a priest either. The things you say in these contexts are self-doxxing. Never trust AI privacy guarantees! Especially from Brave . I like and use their mobile browser, but at one point their useragent had my fucking phone model imprinted in it (these days it only betrays that my phone is running Android 9). Their idea of "privacy" is a joke.
>at one point their useragent had my fucking phone model imprinted in it That was pretty standard among browsers a couple years ago.
Among the self proclaimed privacy first ones as well apparently.

#16If all your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump off too?
Brave showed me ads the second day that I used it, and frankly im thankful that they showed who they were so quickly. I had been nearly fooled

(assumption) because their product is not appealing to a wide audience. the result? "let's add this feature to get [X hyped tech] users"

#18Seems pretty off brand honestly. I don’t see how this furthers their role as a trustworthy and privacy focused company.

Is any adblocker perfect? The default setting in Brave is not the highest setting you can set it to.
As to your question: it depends on why they are jumping. If it is because a giant truck is going to run over us, I might join them, yes.

To be fair to Brave, Firefox hasn't implemented this either.
