Brave search (and the Brave browser) are both great. As a longtime DDG user I think this is the final push I need to move on.

- torrentialtom 4y agoI dropped DDG back in March when Weinberg disclosed that they were engaging in censorship and injecting bias into search results related to the Ukraine/Russia conflict. Now that we see he's sold his soul to MS for $$$, this further confirms my decision. I'm using Brave as my search engine now.
- jasonlotito 4y agoBrave cannot be trusted. They were misrepresenting themselves and their relationships with content creators. As far as I saw it, they were stealing and lying about it. They've inserted referral codes to cryptocurrency websites. That sounds completely anti-privacy and antithetical to anyone wanting a privacy-focused browser. Sorry, but that all just smells untrustworthy.
