Why is everyone mixing search engines and browsers here? This is specifically about the search engine and the problems that api of the search engine has with respecting copyright laws. I use their search engine and dont use their browser

Been using brave for a few years on mobile and desktop.

They uses to give away BAT, but they have refined their system to not give any unless you spend hours jumping through hoops and linking shoddy Chinese financial apps and crypto wallets.

I still use it for the privacy, but after reading this I will likely switch back to firefox or another chrome based browser.

I tried Brave for a couple days but I kept getting notifications from it that were ads. Brave had to go.

That's pretty dumb. Brave is looking for any and every monetisation opportunity. Can't blame them, with competition having free browsers, but it doesn't exactly make them trustworthy.

Someone please make a fork of Brave without the nonsense?

I never liked Brave. I don't care for the crypto crap they add onto their browser

Did nobody read the article? The author is crying that Brave implemented a summary feature so users don't have to read through entire paragraphs to get to the actual content. Of course, he goes on and on about copyright and OpenAI, nothing really about user data.

Firefox forever.

So few browsers left that support privacy

I never really liked brave to begin with, I feel safer implementing my privacy myself, and I think gecko just can do it better.

Damn. Who knew that Brendan Eich was a shady pos.
