What's the idea here? I was under the impression that one of the selling points of Brave is that you don't get ads when browsing. Doesn't this go against that?
I imagine their idea here is that "ads aren't bad if they respect privacy/don't weaken security", but I'm thinking most Brave users are going to disagree.

I've rarely seen a product become so bad so quickly. Brave started out with great promises and has consistently under-delivered since.
What problems do you have that gotten worse? I don’t use Brave search very much but it seems equivalent to duck duck go and its results are ok.
Everything free, becomes ad-infested. Nothing is free, and it's really annoying seeing company after company make empty promises about privacy and "being different", then switching up when their investors start breathing down their necks. Just be honest from the start.
During this beta phase, Brave Search users will see text-based ads in search results. However, during the beta period, Brave users who have opted-in to Brave Private Ads and are using the latest version of Brave will not see Search ads, since these new ad units are not yet eligible for BAT earnings. We’re actively working to integrate Brave Rewards with Brave Search, and hope to make Search ads eligible for BAT earnings in the coming months.
Ads seem to be a modern virus that infects everything. Everyone who claims "no ads", eventually turns their back on that once they get big enough, even companies with more than enough money from their own products (e.g. Apple, Netflix). I've never seen anything so powerful. I guess it comes down to "no business would say no to free money", but it really is incredible.
In the case of Brave (and every business), somebody’s got to hand money to someone in order to keep the lights on.

Small motile cells in many species are used in a reproductive strategy very much like ads.
Tee-hee.

Are you willing to put your money where your mouth is? Or do you expect software companies to work for free? (Presumably not the companies you work for).
