I can't really.  But seeing that's their main selling point, if it's ever
discovered that they aren't, they are bankrupt.

Trust is earned.  So far Brave has earned my trust.  But, ya, you can't be sure
- and look how the Elitists infiltrate organizations that have gained our
trust.

But this is the market.  Browser A pisses me off, I move to Browser B and
Browser A changes or fades away after a while.

If enough people demand privacy in browsing, someone will meet that demand and
the browsers that don't respect privacy will hurt.

Yes, it was.  Especially when I asked nicely "why" and they basically told me
to go pound sand - not in a nice way.

At my previous company, their "spam cannon" (i.e. mass marketing system) was
blocked at many companies.  It took them quite some time to fix that.

Some email companies are very shy about "unvetted" email servers.

Yup.  Most of those people didn't really do anything but take advantage of
other people or situations.  The people who actually contributed just fade into
the background.

Steve Jobs and Dennis Richie died around the same time.  Yet only Steve Jobs
was noted by most people.  But Dennis Richie contributed FAR more than Steve
Jobs was ever capable of.
