I use brave on mobile. Because they seem to be the only stable Browser that offers bottom UI (tabs and new tab button in a bottom menu bar). I don't know how people use >6" phone screens with navigation all on top and I have hands the size of dessert plates!
Firefox offers bottom UI on Android and supports ublock origin.

Funny how their posts show such a different approach to their browser than Braves. E.g. forking Firefox not Chromium, implementing functionality as extension instead of in browser where possible...
> If all browsers end up using Blink (Google), the Web will suffer as developers will only optimize and test for the Blink rendering engine. Am I the only one that thinks that this would be a good thing? Like the entire industry sharing the same core open source technology? Write a website once and it works perfectly across all platforms?

I'm not sure why you think it's relevant to make such a remark without a shred of evidence regarding my thoughts. I left it for the readers to form their own opinion. Something you apparently are loath to do.
Yes, I say what I mean. I don't hide behind the "I'm just asking questions" facade.

I still wouldn't use it since it falls back to Bing or Google.
You're referring to Fallback Mixing , which is off by default. You have to enable it in https://search.brave.com/settings . When enabled, this feature will (at times) pull in results from Google via an anonymous query, routed through the browser. Read more about it here: https://search.brave.com/help/google-fallback

"Shebangs" have been defined as '#!' for decades, I'd suggest they not be redefined.
Shebang specifically refers to using an exclamation point to define where data should be directed. Same as it is in Bash scripts, just a different context and slightly different syntax.

The "she" is specifically a phonetic clipping of the "#", otherwise it's just a bang - but oh well, even jargon doesn't mean shit anymore.

If we're trusting the lies they dump onto the website, that should make Safari the fastest browser! /s
Where is the lie? Independent researchers have found Brave to exists in its own class as the "most private" browser: https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf . Happy to discuss any concerns you may have.
Brave isn't competing against those browsers though. If you want to impress people who care about security, compare your browser to options like Vivaldi and Ungoogled Chromium. Otherwise, you're just bragging about having less telemetry than the foxes in the hen-house.

Is that legal?
It's just a redirect to Google.
1. Redirection to Google.
2. Piping Google's results back to Brave Search's UI: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27594754
The original commenter was asking about the latter.
