I am always a bit cautious with Brave products’ privacy policies
Especially with the CEOs view on homosexuality.
Link?

His apology “for the pain his donation in support of prop 8 caused” was also kind of undercut by following up by calling criticism of his views as a “political litmus test”.
He’s shocked that his support of a political organization makes people think that he agrees with their movement and he gets criticized for holding those views?
Especially with the CEOs view on homosexuality.
Brave is a nice browser but I’m not going to trust crypto bros with my privacy.
well their CEO is a right wing nazi so no thanks.
And they just re-skin Chrome, so you are helping Google own the internet anyway. Use Firefox or Safari.
the post is about the search engine not the browser
Same CEO, same anti-LGBT organizations getting his donations.
Nope. Nope. And nope. Any company tied to crypto I will not trust.
I re-downloaded Brave the other day, and I was disappointed to recall how bloated it feels. The attention tokens, crypto wallet, in-house search engine, trialware VPN, etc.—it’s for someone, but not me…
“attention tokens,” wow that sounds bad in and of itself
Wait why would the search engine be the bloat part?
Brave is trying to create an ecosystem where you use the browser to access their many “free” services. Once they run out of venture capital money and they’ve got people hooked, it’s a slippery slope. Just my two cents though. I never loved Brave’s corporate personality to begin with.
That’s fair. I feel like bloat would be the wrong term to use in regards to a search engine though 😅
It’s built on top of chromium, so they might be privacy preserving but google isn’t.
Fwiw this is about Brave Search, not the Brave Browser
Ah I see my bad, privacy focused alternative search engines are good. Carry on
How many brave tokens and/or crypto do I get and/or mint by using their search?
I don’t like the “attention token” nonsense—I turn that off—but I love Brave and its search engine. It is cool to have a search engine return results that are actually different than other SE’s and have those results be very good.
In fact, I find its results to often be better than the big search engines because results aren’t overtuned for SEO
I’m very confused on how they were one of the first more well known companies to fully launch their own search engine. I would have expected Mozilla, Apple, or Facebook to do so first. Hopefully Proton launched one soon (or buys and open sources Kagi)
Don’t trust brave, never will.
