You're really grasping for straws here to defend this. I'll explain: > 2. Brendan Eich never said that it was supposed to be turned on by default, hence a bug. What are you even arguing against here? Turned on by default? Who was it supposed to be on for according to you? > 3. Brave stopped the affiliate link partnership. After the backlash they realized how stupid it was, apologized and removed the feature (not bug)…

> It's not a bias, they crossed every line possible. My browser is not supposed to with my requests, ever. No excuses. They considered it a good choice at the time and I will keep reminding people every time brave comes up. But you shouldn't worry, that means you'll still have a job hunting down such comments to damage control. All this rage is pointless. The issue is literally on GitHub and was created by Brave's en…

Why would you even use brave? You want to view advertisements just use Chrome. If you don't there's Firefox and ublock origin.

This post is about the search engine, not the web browser. I use Brave instead of Google search because Google presents me with captchas every time I use it, and Brave's search engine is good enough. I already use Firefox and ublock origin.

Except Brave privacy policy directly contradicts your claims (many times). https://brave.com/privacy/browser/ > Safe Browsing > The Brave Browser automatically uses Google Safe Browsing to help protect you against websites, downloads and extensions that are known to be unsafe (such as sites that are fraudulent or that host malware).

From your link: > We proxy these requests through Brave’s servers to reduce the amount of information sent to Google (for example, we remove your IP address) to protect against Google profiling or tracking you when using Safe Browsing.

I'm the only one wondering why that should be a (good) news? I mean: are the user rewarded for the attention (the logic behind BAT) or it's just another search engine with another search ads ? Mine is an honest question, not a complaining.
