I have never liked Rokus interface… I prefer android TV. Most people don’t realize there is an app only mode on android TV that is exactly that, just apps in a drawer. No ads, no fuss. I also like that there is much easier side loading on Android TV.
I had to get one to use Gsync. If you have an Amd card or that monitor isn’t adaptive sync then that shouldn’t be a limitation.
The big one for me was acting like BAT was something it’s not (a regular crypto currency) and not being clear that it’s opt in. It’s a means to ‘tip’ or payback sites for not being served up ads. It won’t make you money or is even any sort of investment.
Even if you don’t see BAT the same as me, being opt in is the part that clearly doesn’t put it into ‘a reason you shouldn’t use Brave’. If it was being forced on anyone than sure, throw it on the list. Who says don’t use something because it offers a service you aren’t interested in?
I vaguely remember him mentioning something about how brave did and didn’t handle blocking ads, and I think it also came down to an option that someone would have to select. If you’d like to go over that more I could re-read it but it was few days ago that I did.
To sum up this article: the author disagrees with the Brave CEO’s political opinions, which is understandable, and then proceeds to project a bias on the whole project. Ignoring the technical workings along the way. When called out on this he then closes the comments.
They are already dropping outside of Chicago city limits. I believe Chicago already had been trying this.
