I seen that article before about the whitelist and didn’t get enraged or upset about it… cause I figured Brave developers had good reason to do it. Even when I wasn’t using Brave browser itself and had used another browser with Ublock Origin and some other privacy extensions, I had to whitelist main “facebook.com”, “twitter.com” and maybe even some of their “cdn” or whatever domains to get those sites working to login, load images, etc. Facebook albums, and images on instagram took forever to load without whitelisting those certain domains.
It sucks, cause it’s back to what I said above there but at same time, you almost have to have some of those sites to be able to function /be usable, etc. It’s harder to convince the entire world’s population to drop Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram for an alternative than it is to whitelist some top level domain names to get those sites to function some-what properly and be usable, whilst still trying to block some “spying” aspects of those companies.
