In this case, what makes Brave different from Youtube requiring YT premium to skip ads? Can they still be called ‘privacy respecting’?\n\nI wouldn’t exactly call them unnecessary. Just because you don’t find them useful doesn’t mean others do not. As a matter of fact, I kind of miss being able to pop out Leo and ask for a webpage summary.\n\nA lot of people have a really big hangup on wanting a chrome browser that is nothing but just the browser. And for obvious reasons, they don’t want to go with unGoogled chromium. Or a hobby project fork. And they’ve gotten a lot of feedback over the years that people are willing to pay to have those features removed in an official form.\n\nThe reason they’re not adding features defeats the entire purpose. People want this browser because they want the features removed. Also, not really sure what this has to do with them suddenly not being called privacy respecting?",
