Concerning the company’s politics, I begrudgingly use Brave. A lot of people will cut you off as soon as you say “I use Brave, but…”

It comes preconfigured blocking most ads with no extensions which is a plus. It runs faster than chrome which is a plus. If a page is broken, you just turn off adblocking instead of having to launch a separate browser. So yeah, in terms of user experience, it’s great.

I don’t trust google and I don’t have any reasons to trust brave as a company, but for the time being it seems like the lesser of two evils.

That’s a very good setting. Thanks! My only other concern is unlabeled bot accounts but I don’t know if that’s a rampant issue or not.

One of the things I like about Beehaw is the lack of bot posts in every thread. Personally I think all bots should be banned because it eliminates some unwanted spam, but a good compromise for me is that bots be explicitly labeled, and can only respond to a trigger command. Nothing that auto posts.
