I mean…we have quite a bit of evidence of at this point that Google and Microsoft are creating problems for the future of the internet and technology in general.
I won’t say they’re the literal devil but I can’t say I’d argue with anyone that says they are.
Calling out horrible practices and encouraging people to use the alternatives that don’t do that shit…yeah, I’m not seeing an issue.
Iirc the isue with brave for most is that it was made by a “Nazi” (https://www.change.org/p/brendan-eich-brave-software-stop-providing-a-revenue-stream-for-white-supremacist-paedophiles). Personally the issue for me is that it wants to torrent for me but I want qbit to do it, and it’s chrome based. Vivaldi is also chrome based iirc, which is also a problem for people who don’t like the tech giants or the internet DRM bullshit google is trying to pull rn, but unless I’m mistaken idt they’re the worst other than that whole “chromium” thing.
Frankly, if you’re still all-in on the Windows or Apple ecosystem, there’s no way to pull you to Linux.
The best Linux spokesmen has been Microsoft lately. I’m not using Linux because I necessarily want to. I want to keep using my clean version of 10, but they’re taking that choice from me. I’m using Linux because I won’t tolerate that shit at this point.
So Linux folks can be as aggressive as they want, it won’t move the needle either way. People are either willing to try it to escape Apple and Microsoft, or they aren’t.
Were you online before Facebook? It was mostly nerds in the 90s and half nerds in the 2000s. You came to a car show and are upset that people are talking about cars. You’re on Wall Street asking “what’s up with all the suits?”

I’m not talking about the tech giants, but the loudest groups here treat alternatives like Brave, Vivaldi, etc. the same way

Literally no one is going to tone it down.
