duckduckgo started censoring results and selling user data about a year ago now.
I've been using brave search ever since I heard about that.
Brave is malware made by a company run by a fucking bigot who used his millions to try to strip people of their human rights. They are not your friend
I don't believe the creator is actually a bigot. There's been too many false bigotry accusations going around and now it's a "boy who cried wolf" type situation
Brendan Eich literally spent millions of dollars to push for the passage of Prop 8 in California, which would have banned same-sex marriage.
That's the literal definition of a bigot.
Again. There's been way too many false bigotry accusations going around.
Big tech, namely google, has quite a few a reasons to smear the creator of brave in an attempt to get people to stop using it.
Not false. He admitted it and was forced to out of Mozilla because of it. It was a massive scandal.
Does he still think that way?
Why do you seem so invested in the fact that well-known bigots might not actually be bigots?
When people tell you who they are: believe them.
No one is throwing "fake" bigotry accusations at anyone. And if you believe they are, then you also are a bigot. Period.
Because there's too may false bigotry accusations going around for me to believe any of them anymore. I've already said that multiple times. Why do people keep asking me that same question?
Think about it. Google wants people to use chrome and to stop using adblockers. Brave is a chromium-based browser that has adblocking, tracker blocking and fingerprint randomization all on by default, but made better when those things are set to aggressive.
People who become aware of brave start using brave and stop using chrome.
google is constantly manipulating results for certain search queries to push an agenda. They do the same shit on youtube by selectively enforcing the rules, elevating garbage channels and demoting good channels.
So why wouldn't google come up with some bullshit about the creator of brave being a bigot to get people to stop using it? Lots of people are smeared in worse ways for doing even less.
What does being a bigot have anything to do with developing a search engine or a browser? Mozilla has also gone woke, dwelling into politics instead of developing a browser.
The fact that you unironically use the phrase "gone woke" means discussion with you is pointless.
Enjoy being blocked.
Can't provide any actual arguments so you just block people you disagree with? Not like I expected much logic or sense from someone such as you.
Source on that?
But I mean, if you prefer anything Brave does, sure.
Brave browser CEO apologizes for automatically adding affiliate links to cryptocurrency URLs
You can disable the crypto stuff very easily.
Not the point. Crypto injection links shouldn't be sneakily added into a "privacy" oriented browser.
However, you never provided any proof that DDG censors and sells user data. You've made big claims, but didn't back them.
Brave might not be better.
