"For anyone who isn’t aware, Brave Browser is run by a terrible person .
It is also funded by Peter Thiel, the billionaire ‘conservative nationalist’ financing Facebook, Palantir Technologies, and the most egregious fascists in the Republican Party."
I would recommend Firefox with uBlock Origin as add-on.
If they use Linux (probably not but, maybe there are some) install them LibreWolf. It is a FOSS fork of Firefox and comes nativity with uBlock Origin.
LibreWolf wouldn’t be recommendable to a non tech person doe to its changes to the browser to make it more privacy friendly. It breaks a lot of sites that the common folk uses day to day. My advise would be Firefox with uBlock as pointed out.
yea you could be right.
And specially in the regards of elderly or not that technicaly people Firefox with uBlock origins should be a good tradeoff between security and usability
Aside from all this, Brave isn’t a bad browser, it has adblock in it, a torrent client.
The only bad feature it has (from privacy POV) is Brave Rewards.
From what I know there is browser forked from brave called Dissenter which doesn’t have rewards and also has website rating system, where you can leave or check feedback about websites.
Don’t use brave an advice
what he is saying. To quote the user MiscreantMuse:

I’m sorry but I absolutely don’t give a crap who made it. It’s not like I’m giving them money or anything.
Although being funded by a person who also funds essentially surveillance companies might be something I actually give a shit about
