I'm nobody special. Just enjoy gaming, reading manga/manhwa/manhua, and watching anime. Also am a Community Ninja at Brave Community.

Curious about expanding BAT & Rewards? Excited by Brave's 100M MAU, but only ~481K BAT holders on Ethereum & Solana (0.48% of MAU). Seems low. Any plans to boost adoption?

@bryan_leach Just wanted you to know why you lost a customer today. @Ibotta balance: $19.96. Needed it badly. Support wouldn’t cover the 4¢ via promotional credit or offer any help. Longtime user, now ex-user. Bad call. Hope you’ll treat others in tough spots with more care.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

Just deleted all from registry, but isn't the first time I've done this. Tried seeking help elsewhere but my post was removed, such as in the screenshot.

If I see this extension added again, I think I'm going to give up on @Adobe services and products forever.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@Adobe why are you turning into adware? I have removed everything from app data, extensions folders, etc it keeps adding to browsers. I never installed your extension nor do I want it.

In a similar fashion, you originally forced MacAfee on my device when I said no.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@BrendanEich @fanboynz @sharkygcom @brave But I'm sure you see that they also said Edge has picked it up. So now Edge on Android has at least some extension support. Still hoping Brave can do similar. https://t.co/kOXLBe21uJ

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

Wow, things are getting crazy. I keep trusting @brave for privacy matters online. But I do get worried when I see news articles like this where governments are getting companies to no longer offer end to end encryption. https://t.co/UKf7Z0eq4X

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@tsuj @solso @BraveSampson wanted to tag in for this just in case want to respond. Found on this due to Community post at https://t.co/Rqe3K43IMI

@BrendanEich Is the name for Goggles changing? When using Rerank it says "Powered by Goggles." And when using Brave Search it still shows Goggles options.

Wanting to make sure not mixing things up and/or aware of future intent.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@brave has a new Rerank to help users filter results. It looks great. I hope they continue to expand, perhaps allowing for accounts so people can save individual preferences on a more permanent basis without complexity of Goggles. https://t.co/CK8DLegD2s

@iAnonymous3000 @X @signalapp @mollyimapp @SimpleXChat I’m focused on idea of how it independently comes up with shared key.

Also, if I can install an app on a new device or log in on any computer and still access old messages, that suggests there’s enough flexibility in the system for developers to potentially tap into as well.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@iAnonymous3000 @X @signalapp @mollyimapp @SimpleXChat If A sends to B, how does B know A’s encryption key to read the message? And what prevents Developer from acting as a hidden recipient with access to the key too? Feels like it's an illusion of security in a way. Guess need to spend time to go learn how it all works.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@iAnonymous3000 @X @signalapp @mollyimapp @SimpleXChat Still trying to wrap my head around E2EE. How does my device encrypt messages just for the recipient without knowing their encryption keys? Feels like devs/admins could still intercept or decrypt. Isn't it only to protect from 3rd parties?

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@janypiotrowski In a similar notion, not sure why AI stuff stays visible even if disabled. Lots of people been complaining about that. Even times where it answers while disabled everywhere. For example https://t.co/TMs7iVhupE

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@brave @janypiotrowski why is Brave putting in annoying things like this screenshot? Random suggested topics is silly. And no toggle to hide it. Been using Shields to accomplish but noticed code changed so it appeared again. Hoping not going to keep forcing its way.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@BarabashAlexey @SergZh_ @anthonypkeane So once the merging is approved, it should land on 1.73.x and 1.74.x I suppose. To make sure not getting confused, this arrives as an app update and isn't back end, right?

Fingers crossed hits soon and indeed resolves for everyone. Thanks

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@BarabashAlexey @SergZh_ @anthonypkeane any ETA on fix for Android sync issue? Still keep seeing users complaining because can’t enable password sync on their Android. Nearing a year now since started seeing reports.

@DegenApeDev @econoar @brian_armstrong @coinbase Not sure there is a good answer. Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and many others facing/faced lot of legal issues. Government is trying to reign in cryptocurrency. Exchanges pretty much are the same as banks these days.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@lukemulks On desktop you have to do via Shields settings. Settings -> Shields -> Content Filters or just type in brave://adblock. Different look, same result.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@shivan_kaul Shred vs Forget Me When I Close This Site. Are they the same or one better than other? Not sure I'm grasping the difference.

[Stephen Ray @Saoiray]

@shivan_kaul There ever going to be a good base guide for users on the syntax used for filters in Shields?

Thought of creating something like uBlock Origin's logger in Shields?

Block Element ever coming to Mobile?
