Honestly, its the only usable independent search engine, its privacy focused and unlike start page and DDG, its actually independent. Brave is doing what Mozilla wont't do. Also with Goggles you can finally block all the stupid Automated comparisons sites, Brave already had a forums section, and this makes it even better.

Where's the forums sections. Second time I see it mentioned and I can't find it. This is what I see: https://imgur.com/onlrA5I https://imgur.com/onlrA5I

  They're not a tab at the top, but a boxed section in the search results. https://i.imgur.com/10vIh7x.png https://i.imgur.com/10vIh7x.png

  How many times does this need to be corrected... Brave never injected their own affiliate codes into anything. They had sponsored results when searching in the URL bar just like Mozilla is doing now in Firefox (as of v93) with 'Firefox Suggest'. When people complained, the Brave team turned it off by default and made it so users couldn't tab-to-complete to a sponsored result which was never the intention in the first place. If you don't believe Firefox Suggest is a thing: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-suggest-faq https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-suggest-faq

    >Brave never injected their own affiliate codes into anything. Coinbase, the founder of Monero, and other experts disagree. Firefox does not opt-in their users to inserting Firefox's own affiliate codes to coinbase, binance, or other crypto websites to get paid for traffic the way Brave did.

      When you say the founder of Monero do you mean the guy that was arrested recently for embezzlement?

        @fluffypony was charged in South Africa but AFAIK he hasn't been convicted. Not sure how that's relevant unless you're going to try to poison the well with Coinbase too.

        He admitted to it and said he tried to settle earlier and failed. But yeah, what’s your Coinbase source? Everyone at Coinbase? Because BAT is still listed on Coinbase.

        You still have explained how that's relevant. Read the sources cited in this comment thread.

      The 'experts' you cite with names (one of which is a known fraudster) and without sources are wrong then? An off the cuff twitter comment is not an analysis, just false conjecture like you are participating in now. How is what Brave did any different than what firefox currently DOES?
