Hello, how are you guys?

As the title says, what search Ingine are you currently using? I used DuckDuckGo for years, and just recently switched to Brave.

Also, what do you think about the Brave Browser? I have been using FireFox since forever.

Thank you for reading.

Personally I am not a fan of brave. Between running their own crypto currency, inserting affiliate links to pages and an advert revenue share. It seems like they are trying to be a middleman to your web experience.

I have been a Firefox user since 2004ish and mainly runAdnausem and consent-o-matic to keep my web experience as clean as possible.

It is always funny to look into my Adnausem ad vault to see what people are trying to advertise to me.

Brave is a series scammer and every few days somebody seems to be posting about it on Lemmy. It's really looking like an ad campaign.

Ad Nauseum is absolutely amazing. Google even admits that by banning it from Chrome.

It directly breaks their TOS and revenue streams. No shock of they banned it.
