I'm okay with this as long as it's opt-in (or you get told at least once to opt-out and whats the purpose), it's nice to support projects you like
However this seems to be yet another scammy issue with Brave, just unfuck Firefox with user.js (or changing shit on about:config) and userChrome, or use GNU IceCat or LibreFox, Brave will sell you out in many underhanded ways

When 3d-party extensions do this, they get removed from Chrome Web Store...

People shit on fucking Brave all the time and I just don't see why. I don't give a shit if the people who use it are able to occasionally make money because I'm using it-- that's completely expected from any service you use that's worth using. The fact people believe this very concept, of being able to profit from the thing you made, is unethical is just pure commie crap. Nothing more. Hell, let's even examine this specific situation: It's a fucking referral code. If you don't want to support the browser you are actively using, put in a different code... It's really that simple.
What I care about is the matter of how it is being done, which is why I do use Brave in spite of these occasional PR hiccups. I was using Jewgle Chrome before. Brave is a major step up from Chrome in terms of not fucking over users, and does have a lot of convenient features. Being able to literally print free money is one of them.
Also... WEIRD observation, but the people who shit on Brave seem to run with the CumLink crowd, which is completely bizarre to me. It's almost like they don't value transparency at all and are constantly looking for something to get angry about.

They could like, just sell the thing instead of underhandedly adding referral links?

When I type in binance.us I want to go to binance.us not binance.us+your shill ref. That is literally injection malware.
Justin Gray
How many more examples are you going to need before you stop sucking the dick of this malware? Were the first twenty just the tip for you?
William Hill
if they do this now, imagine... i'm out

If this is real, it is a huge red flag. If a security expect saw this, they probably think the binary was compromised and tell the company they have a massive security breach and should notify their users they have been compromised. It would be too absurd to even think developers would be stupid enough to hard code their referral links for sites into a browser.
Justin Foster
and viola! just like that orchid became testiclecoin
Luis Barnes
it is real, look at eichs twitter. He went full damage control and now they've changed it.
Easton Richardson
Is this actually real? someone confirm this, must be a joke of a browser

You prefer the old profit model?
Fuck out.

The tldr is that Brave has done scumbag things like this multiple times. None of it is that bad, but it's the fact that they go out of their way to hide it and it goes against what the browser is supposed to be about. There's definitely more to come.
Liam Turner
They could ask
>Would you like to visit binance.us using our referral link? It helps us make money to develop Brave blah blah blah
and it would be completely fine. But they don't because they are fucking retarded.
Anyone know of a non-cucked alternative?

They shit on brave because it has some of the strongest fundamentals in all of crypto. It makes most coins besides eth and link obsolete.
Bentley Rogers
This 100X. 99% of people would click through and be grateful that they can contribute to the project. Instead people feel tricked and pushed off.
