I think we need all support we can get to fight Google on this, so I welcome Brave here actually.

Brendan Eich is an asshole deep in the Conspiracy Victim Complex too. I like Brave search as an alternative to Google but I'm still using Firefox

He also had to leave Mozilla in 2014 due to opposition to same-sex marriage.

Have you given Ecosia a shot? I find it better than Brave's search, with the side-effect of not having a shithole CEO.

Ecosia "tree planting" is bullshit though. They only raise funds towards the statutory goal when you click ads, so if you have an ad blocker in your browser or purposefully skip over sponsored search results then they don't make money towards the tree planting programme.

Well yeah, that's how search engines make money. They aren't magic

Exactly, and yet they claim "each search plants a tree".
