People on Patreon intentionally wish to accept donations, while you hide their Patreon ads, links to their other sites, and replace it with your unwanted platform? You can't compare yourself with a service that _someone particularly opted into and wants and set up themselves_ with _misusing someone's brand to take money as an unauthorised third party, while at the same time blocking that person's intended messaging to collect money for themselves_


Right. The sensible thing for any Patreon user to do would be blocking Brave based on UserAgent.

Oh, turns out Brave doesn’t have its own UA: https://www.ctrl.blog/entry/brave-user-agent-detection

What a dishonest product.


Wow, this is even more dishonest than I thought. Intentional choice too, not a "forgot to update after forking x browser".
