It downloads RAM for you, sells your browsing data to major gaming companies, helps you stay on top of your Twitch subs by disabling the ability to block web notifications.
Fun fact: it turns out that all those LEDs rely (in Windows at least) on a super-insecure driver written by a hobbyist who last updated it in the mid-2000s and has since disavowed it.
Steve didn’t really do his due diligence on that video, a lot of RGB software hasn’t used it for awhile, including one he said do. It certainly used to be a big problem and there’s definitely still holdouts
From what I’ve seen it has a lil sidebar that lets you limit the resources available to it. Also a load of shortcuts to giveaways and storefronts. It’s also hideous, as all gamer stuff should be.
Honestly it gives me more “lowspec” vibes, than “gaming”, and there are far better ways to browse on low spec machines.
Also depends on which source we are discussing. Many YouTube channel owners do no not call themselves “influencers” and just focus on their domains and are very strict about sponserships (some don’t even accept sponsorships).
Because some influencer say you should. Works this way for too many people.
The amount of folks I see use Opera GX “gaming browser” because some influencer said so…
What the fuck is a gaming browser. Browsers show web pages.

You know, a gaming browser.

I’m still shocked at how many seemingly tech-literate people use and defend Brave because of influencers.
An influencer’s review only makes me wary of a product and makes me question their motives.
But I guess others don’t see it that way, or they wouldn’t be doing it.
