  "textContent": "I hope you resolve the issue you’re trying to fix. I’m currently testing IronFox; the new 150.0.3 update has better performance than the previous version.\n\nI understand the (hidden) messages from the people who commented above against Brave.\n\nAs I told someone on a Discord server a while back, it was about the data logging issue… it doesn’t matter if you pay for a service or not; if they want to spy on you, they’ll do it secretly, ignoring their own policies, which are simply words, just words.\n\nI made it very clear to that person: I use free things for my own benefit, and I’m the one who profits. For example, Google. Google offers free products, and everyone has their own way of doing things.\n\nI’m not afraid of any company; even so, I recognize that there are still people (independent or in groups) with good intentions who create free things for those who can’t pay, for those who don’t know how to program, etc. They are a minority.\n\nI told that person very clearly: I use free things for my own benefit, and I’m the one who benefits. Where the world is overly focused on business, gratitude is fading and sincerity is dwindling.\n\nWhether it’s Brave, Firefox, or another browser, you can use it wisely. If you don’t want a browser connecting to the company’s main servers, you can simply block its IPs and domains. And if you don’t like a particular application, operating system, or anything else, don’t use it. Everyone has different options; it all depends on the individual (what they’re looking for, what they want to achieve, etc.).\n\nI navigate this world to avoid being influenced by things that don’t uplift me.",
