    Oh no! The browser that forked the browser that a browser made by the largest ad vendor in the world is based on in order to be able to serve different ads is legally threatening a browser that forked it in order to remove said ads?

    Did I get this right?

    It was made by a free speech company that supported neo-nazis and white supremacists. They also wanted to replace the coin system.

    In April 2019, Dissenter was removed from the Firefox Add-ons website and the Chrome Web Store for violation of their policies that causes the creation of the Dissenter web browser.

    Brave never threatened anyone.
