I'm supposed to trust BRAVE with privacy? Did I receive a massive head injury and not realize it?

Shady browser from a shady company.

In the comments: crypto bros and privacy nerds have the same shit fight they always have in every brave post. I honestly don't think anyone even uses this browser and likely never will.

I use it for YouTube and spotify because the ad block works. Firefox i had some sites that wouldn't work with the extensions I have running

...Aaaand I'm officially tossing the browser. AI has it's place, and that is not embedded in every fucking program I use.

How is Brave covering cost of this thing?

[–] Shizu 6 points 1 year ago

There is a paid subscription tier of the brave search which certainly is used to partitially fund this project. Other than that. Brave also serves ads in their search results for free users. Those however are not based on your profile but are based on your current search (similar how DuckDuckGo and Startpage are handling their ads).
