Another lesser-known fact is that several other web browsers are also based on Chromium. These include Opera, the latest versions of Microsoft Edge, and Brave, along with several others. There is nothing shady about this; since Chromium is open-source, using the code is perfectly legitimate.
On April 17, 2019, Mr. Eich called the Gab team irrational for basing their Dissenter browser on his Brave browser code. The battle went back and forth between Mr. Eich, Gab, and a few others, with Eich finally escalating to this:
In response, these sites simply disabled the comment sections of their sites to keep people from disagreeing with them. As you can imagine, this angered people even more.
The team at Gab decided to address this problem by creating the Dissenter extension. Once you add the extension to your current web browser, you can comment on any web page. The comment is visible to anyone else visiting the same page if they too have the Dissenter extension installed.
As we discussed at the top of this article, it is July 2019, and the Dissenter browser is here. It arrived as a fork of the Brave browser instead of Chromium, but it has arrived and is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux desktops.
The reactions of the big tech companies and their friends against the Dissenter extension were a major trigger for the creation of the Dissenter browser. So, of course, the browser has the Dissenter commenting code built in.
When you use the Dissenter browser, you can attach comments to any web page, whether that page has a comment section or not. Anyone using the old Dissenter extension, or using the Dissenter browser can see those comments, add to them, even follow a favorite commenter.
Below is a page that Dissenters had commented on when we were working on this article. By clicking the green D at the top of the browser window, we were able to see the comments, like this:
I like the browser but wish it had its own news page feed. Also, when I click on the dissenter icon to post a comment on a news story I read on Yahoo or MSN, the majority of times I am the only commenter. Dissenter and Gab need to do a better job of marketing their product and getting out the fact of how they were unfairly targeted and lied about. IMO they are not doing a very good job countering the narrative that their sites are only used by right wing nazis.
I like it for some purposes. But I found out today that on Twitter, using Dissenter, I cannot access my Lists! They do not appear as a tab on my profile page or home page. I reloaded and still no dice. I go to my Google browser and the Lists tab is right there. Twitter is of little use to me without Lists so I cannot use it with Dissenter. Bummer.
Would like to kick the tires on this one. Unfortunately, this browser is rarely updated. Last update is from March of 2020. Some extensions will not work when Chromium is on version 88 and this browser is using version 80.
You did not approve my comment and it is gone. But the comment was correct. Dissenter does not allow me to use Lists on Twitter! I just checked again. I loaded my Twitter page on Dissenter. On my Twitter Profile page, there is no Lists tab. On my Twitter Home page, there is no Lists tab. Without clicking on the Lists tab, there is no way to get to my Twitter Lists. Dissenter does not work with Twitter unless you never use Lists, but I use them all the time so I have to use a different browser. Did you check this? I am right.
Once installed, the browser should launch as it normally would. However, you will also need to disable auto-updates from initiating, or you will run into this problem again. The easiest way to do this would be to launch the browser from the macOS Terminal, adding the --disable-brave-update flag at the end of the command. This would make the full command for launching Brave on from the terminal:
Thanks for the replies.
I check the bookmarks folder from within the browser and it looks like this.
I have no idea what is a typical sync on nextcloud should look like by default.
Should I even have anything called Bookmarks Bar ?
Please be aware that, if you have a browser that has built-in folders like bookmarks bar, other bookmarks etc. (like, e.g. Chromium, Firefox) You may have to select one of those instead of the root folder to sync your brave bookmarks with that browser, because adding entries to the root folder is not allowed in those browsers.
The Bookmarks folder in the files section is mostly irrelevant to bookmark syncing. If you want to access your bookmarks on your phone you have the option to use floccus with Kiwi Browser or use a dedicated android app for nextcloud bookmarks. The normal nextcloud android app will not be any help with bookmarks.
So I turned off the floccus extension in the browser, then cleaned up the computers browser
Deleted the offending folder
Searched for duplicates and deleted them.
Went on nextcloud bookmarks and deleted them there.
Also removed the broken links because there was a lot.
Hello, I have Brave browser on my pc and my iPhone. I have enabled sync between them and selected both bookmarks and passwords. My bookmarks work seamlessly across the de vices (thank you!). However, I cannot find my passwords on the mobile app not do the passwords autocomplete any of the logins. So I am stuck not knowing where to find/access the synced passwords. Please advise. Thank you.

Gab's functionality is similar to that of Twitter.[27][28] Users of Gab can publish posts, initiate private chats, join groups, livestream and buy products.[17] The company also maintains an email service, cloud service, text messaging service, advertisement sales system, server farm, marketplace website, news aggregation website, advertising platform, video-conferencing platform, blog, video hosting, web browser, and browser extension to allow commenting on third-party websites.[13][29][30][31][32][33][34] In July 2019, Gab switched its software infrastructure to a Mastodon fork, a free and open-source social network platform. Mastodon released a statement in protest, denouncing Gab as trying to "monetize and platform racist content while hiding behind the banner of free speech".[35][36]
On February 24, 2019,[150] Gab launched a browser extension called Dissenter, an aggregation and discussion service which allows Gab users to make comments about any webpage including news articles, YouTube videos, and individual social media posts.[151][152] Comments made using the Dissenter extension are outside of the webpage owner's control, and the extension can be used to comment on websites with no comment feature or where comment sections have been closed.[152] Gab also has a web browser called Dissenter.[30]
Dissenter describes itself as "a free, open-source utility that allows people to dissent from orthodoxy and express what they are really thinking, without fear of reprisal".[153] It was developed as a response to multiple social media platforms' and online news sites' moderation practices, which involved the removal of individual comments or deleting or disabling comment sections altogether.[151] Users with registered Gab accounts may submit content to Dissenter in the form of a URL to a page on which they want to comment. This creates a discussion page where users can post a comment (or "Dissent"), and the comments can be up- or down-voted by other users of the site.[151] By using the Dissenter browser extension, users may read and post comments in an overlay while viewing page content. The Dissenter website also features a news ticker on which users can follow current events.[152] Dissenter also allows users to label their comments as "offensive" or not safe for work (NSFW).[91]
In a 20-minute Periscope video accompanying the launch, Andrew Torba said that he expected Dissenter to be banned from extension stores and mentioned that Gab might build its own web browser in the future that has Dissenter built-in.[151] In April 2019, Mozilla removed the Dissenter extension from the Firefox Add-ons website for violating the hate speech portion of Mozilla's acceptable use policy. In a statement to the Columbia Journalism Review, a Mozilla spokesperson said: "Mozilla does not endorse hate speech, and we do not permit our platforms to be used to promote such content".[155] On April 11, Google removed the Dissenter extension from the Chrome Web Store.[156] Later in April, the Gab team forked the Brave web browser in order to bundle Dissenter. Brave CEO Brendan Eich criticized the decision to fork Brave as unnecessary and "parasitic".[157]
