No no no. I'm tired of everyone pushing their opinion pieces everywhere. I use browsers to find information that I want. I don't want the browser to become a vehicle for others to push their views on me. F* off.
- visarga 6y agoCorporations don't want to let users decide for themselves what to see. Google ranks pages (decides what to hide), Twitter and FB do the same with feeds. Advertisers infest any corner of the net, like cockroaches. Political parties buy targeted ads in huge amounts and generate tons of self serving press to put into our feeds. We need to put the filtering / ranking function back into our hands. We need a browser that can learn our preferences and enforce them, while protecting our privacy as well. Ad block lists are a start, but they only filter ads and don't re-rank the feeds.

Why doesn’t google have that? Have the option to prioritise forum pages Have a clear choice between getting generic results and personal algorithm results
- pedro2 6y agoThe decision process on Brave Today sounds to be (mainly?) local. You need the filtering processing to be local and visible but you can't win the fight by avoiding all filtering. IMO what makes sense is manually curated sources for your knowledge area and the rest machine-picked for you to read and retain a general knowledge of the world.
- zby 6y agoI want others to push their opinion pieces on me - this is the only way to get out of my bubble and learn new stuff. But yeah - the problem is whom can I trust with such a power.
