People complain about firefox doing shady stuff and then use Brave lmao. Just leaving these here: https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/19125#issuecom...

https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/16611#issuecom...


The first bug is because of daylight savings the was also in chrome. People mistakenly thought it was to do with brave servers being down.

The second one is people trying to install plugins from the chrome web store, apparently it has to do this through brave servers. I don't think it's entirely unreasonable that when installing a plugin from your browser that your browser has to connect to a server to do so.

Trying to present bugs as some sort of malware is dishonest, the source code is open if it was really phoning home why not just link that code?


> Steps to Reproduce

> 1. Open Brave

This is way too funny for me.


>High CPU usage

I have that problem all the time in Firefox

But probably I just opened too many tabs


I'd suggest the Auto Tab Discard extension. It's wonderful.


I tend to open multiple thousands of tabs because Firefox lets me, and it hasn't been a cpu issue on desktop or Android.


Eats battery like Hell on my Android phone.


Wow that sample code sounds 100% like DragonForce lyrics
