Sure that's true, that doesn't answer the question I asked though.

To play the devil's advocate, it was technically opt-in

How is it bing that's doing that if this is a service provided by brave? Even if their liscense required copilot to be implemented, I would think that opting out isn't something that bing regulates

I used it because the results were better for me then the other search engines I have used, but yeah I don't agree with anything the company or it's CEO is doing, so there's no better time to stop it then.

Bing is/was down

 

I've been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn't take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced in it, but with the new feature it takes up more space, is slower, and not really what I want out of a search engine.

As soon as the feature was rolled out I disabled it in settings, but the AI button stays visible, I get autocomplete specifically for Answer with AI and I get frequent notifications to try out the new AI feature. An opt-out toggle should not mean that I still am pestered to use the feature I opted out of.

This is really annoying, and I'm probably going to end up switching to Startpage or SearXNG or something.

Oh like poutine but with marshmallows instead of cheese curds? With just fries and marshmallows I could possibly understand the idea, but that does sound horrible.

Does it taste like actual licorice or store brand licorice ?

That does sound really weird. They really have bacon flavoured everything in some sense and it's always a weird flavour

Here in Canada it is mostly just sweet tea

 

Was it good?

I agree with this

 

Could be a brand or just a type of chocolate

 

A student investigation at the University of Waterloo uncovered a system that scanned countless undergrads without consent.

 

Mine is that I pour the milk before the cereal. people are always extremely confused by that.
