- newscracker 7y agoMy daily driver is Firefox (and I abandoned Google Chrome long ago), but if I have to choose, for whatever reason, between sending requests directly to Google and sending requests to Brave, I'd choose the latter. I do trust Brave more than I trust Google (yes, I'm also aware of the controversies with a rave about its founder and about its micropayments service). I wish Mozilla would actually proxy requests to Google, since I trust Mozilla a lot more. We ought to expect more from Mozilla on this.
- cnst 7y ago> We ought to expect more from Mozilla on this. What you're advocating is for Mozilla to become a walled-garden, just like Brave and Chrome are. Since when is a walled-garden a good thing? If you trust Mozilla more than you trust Google, I think it follows that you should also trust their decision that NOT proxying and going directly to Google.com for this data is acceptable.
