Brave as a browser is fine for now.

But they’re crypto bros with concerning views and it’s just yet another chromium browser.

We really have an issue with the monoculture of web browsers.

Damn, it really is a monoculture! I knew about this problem for years, but this is the first time, I had someone call it out as 'monoculture'. This is amazing, I'm stealing it!
