outside of screwing over the content creator. You're visiting a site for content, and the one really getting paid is Brave

What are you talking about. They are stealing from content creators / whom ever took the time to create the website to begin with and taking their money. They are literally leeches.
I don't care about the ad business and believe there are better ways to do this, but this is scummy stuff.
Use an ad blocker or whatever you want but this is another company profiting from it.

its worse
>In June, reports emerged, which stated that the company had been quietly inserting affiliate links for certain search queries without telling users. For instance, Brave had added a home widget for Binance a month prior, which turned out to redirect users via its affiliate offering.
Brave will remove the ads from a site, that a person/company has paid for to ad provider. The ad provider thats supposed to pay the website host / content creator / whatever.
Now Brave will insert their own ads and that another company has paid them to insert. So they are stealing and making money from the effort that someone else is expecting.
I'm not sure what you mean by this, I use github to sync across devices, you could technically use any solution you like.
We can say this is true about youtube, twitter and probably someday tiktok, but at least for now Facebook / Meta is absolutely the worst as they not only sold/leaked the PII but they've also been actively encouraging all of this.
>“The study has an inherent bias,” Dr. Flick said. “It shows that, if you want to get more jobs, you should be on LinkedIn more.”
Culture fit matters and you can't fix the culture when thats what they are hiring for.
second it's not apples obligation to force encryption, but if they really cared about your privacy it's as easy as releasing iMessage for Android.
Apple won't even talk about compatibility for Android so technically it is on Apple to offer a solution if they really cared
Third you brought up encryption not me
Apple iMessage
Message content limited. Subpoena: can render basic subscriber information. 18 USC §2703(d): can render 25 days of iMessage lookups and from a target number. Pen Register: no capability. *Search Warrant: can render backups of a target device; if target uses iCloud backup, the encryption keys should also be provided with content return can also acquire iMessages from iCloud returns if target has enabled Messages in iCloud.
This behavior should be condemned not celebrated.
