I am always a bit cautious with Brave products’ privacy policies

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
- sculd ( @sculd@beehaw.org ) 22•1 year ago
Nope. Nope. And nope. Any company tied to crypto I will not trust.

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
- Duckef ( @Duckef@lemmy.ml ) 3•1 year ago
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?
- hoodlem ( @hoodlem@hoodlem.me ) 8•1 year ago
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.
