@slashdot Don't mind this, I have been using Brave Search myself for the past week or so and been very pleasantly surprised at how accurate it's results are. Things get interesting now though, as soon the "free" version of Brave Search will be ad-supported. Let's see how long Brave can be "not evil".
@adi @slashdot Regardless of that, and whether either truly exists, the end result is what I'm interested in. In this case, will the Brave ads truly be a privacy-friendly alternative to Google's or will they slowly degrade as the desire for revenue increases? We shall see.
@eldersnake @slashdot What desire for revenue? Anyway, I installed and used Brave for a while, not a big fan of their ads either.
@adi @slashdot Ad revenue. A lot of companies start out with noble enough goals but can start slipping as more revenue is needed (or wanted). Happens all the time. Even Mozilla. What you might call "selling out" I suppose.\n\nI agree about Brave ads in the browser, think I switched them off. Found the browser itself to be quite decent, nowadays I use both Brave and Librewolf depending on what I'm doing, keep things isolated to a specific browser.
