Perhaps there’s a part of me being hysterically paranoid here, but paranoia seems to be reasonable these days when it comes to tech giants and our data.
All logical. However the point I’m at is “I don’t want my computer to touch Facebook IPs”. Hosts entries are more of a pain than “block scripts and cookies” in my browser, and after months of trusting a browser to do what it says it is frustrating to hear that it secretly is not. Maybe I’m having too emotional a response to this.
Yeah, I tried out entering the list of domains from the whitelist, and it was quite tedious. As for the emotional response, everyone has their own reaction to a betrayal. Maybe your level of emotion is right and mine’s wrong. Whatever user response is “right,” it would help if the leaders of Brave would say something to the effect of "We f***ed up, we’re sorry, we won’t do it again.
