If you're using a "privacy browser", You are a mid-tier IT guy past 30 years old, with decent income, most likely not smart enough to not have a family, and not enough education to understand the tracking algorithms can identify you by suspicious lack of commonly avaiable information.

There. This is the privacy you get by hiding your identity.

>not smart enough to not have a family

I do imagine an IT guy who uses Brave as a terminallt single guy, honestly

@RikaDerufu
Well, no.
I see him on the edge, but still not crossing to the full on autistic territory.

@Jens_Rasmussen @RikaDerufu
I meant, that I don't see such a person as fully autistic. I didn't mean that he's using a grandma malware.

@RikaDerufu @LukeAlmighty The Breivik browser is for privacy?
Shit, I was just using it to keep ads away.

@LukeAlmighty brave is actually probably the best browser out there unless you wanna go turbo autist and harden the fuck out of firefox, but at that point you start losing functionality.

but tbh i don't really care about the "privacy" aspect, any website i'm connecting to will have my IP address anyway. i don't give a fuck about all the crypto shit either. i just like the fact that it has an adblocker built in to it (which means it is faster and won't be subject to manifest v3 breaking adblock) and automatically rejects a good amount of cookie popups.

@beardalaxy
And I don't mind any of the reasons that you've mentioned.

I was complaining about the people who actually care about the privacy part.

@LukeAlmighty really there is no way to be truly 100% private. it's all about assessing your threat level and what kind of data you're alright with giving away.

@LukeAlmighty This would've hit harder if I fit into even one of those categories
