Brave? You mean the privacy focused web browser which marketing’s is so awful I can’t get myself to trust it, due to how much of it looks like a malware crypto scam, who was made by an asshole who was outed from Mozilla for being a homophobic asshole? Yeah. Fuck Brave.

No JavaScript or ads. (…) Prevents Wikipedia getting your IP address.

They have ads to fundraise. Wikipedia is one of the greatest archives of knowledge in history. Their clients and website are open source powered by MediaWiki. Of all the sites to use a privacy friendly frontend for, I’d have Wikipedia at the very bottom.
