   Hello Wilfred!   
      
    AA>> Back on topic.. I'm surprised that there aren't many/any Brave   
    AA>> users on Linux.  I thought the built in privacy and ad-blocking   
    AA>> would be a nobrainer for the linux elite.   
      
    WvV> "linux elite" ?   
      
   I meant exclusive linux users, power users, who recognize that     
   Brave is pretty darn good!   
      
      
    WvV> So maybe there aren't any of those in Fidonet, whatever   
    WvV> that might mean? ;-)   
      
   At least not any following the couple of echos where I started     
   to mention this issue.   
      
      
    WvV> As for me 'Brave' isn't even on my radar. Which probably   
    WvV> means I'm not an "linux elite" either. ;-)   
      
   Yeah.   
      
      
    WvV> I think most users, linux or other, elite or not, just   
    WvV> stick to the more well known software. That makes your   
    WvV> 'live' a little bit more easier, because others probably   
    WvV> have already found and fixed possible problems.   
      
   I thought Brave was quite well known.  It seems to incorporate     
   many of the features that people have been seeking wrt privacy.
