Because it objectively IS. It passes privacy tests in so many areas where others fail and I’m not just talking about those privacy test sites, I’m talking tests we can run ourselves. It’s fine if you don’t like Brave but don’t let your emotions get in the way of the fact that it is, by default, the best option for privacy out of the box. Sure, you CAN harden Firefox or use Librewolf but even those don’t always succeed in passing those tests like Brave does.
I would use Firefox over either, but at least Vivaldi’s ownership model seems pretty good (employee owned). Brave is just so untrustworthy at a company level.
Better privacy, better UI not cluttered by excessive and unnecessary options, and a fantastic feature set… but I’m referring to their search engine in this context.
The AI is intrinsically linked to the search engine if I’m not mistaken. Brave has AI built into their search engine and their browser, but it’s very well done and pro-privacy.
I’m happy to stick with Brave. Far superior to DDG in literally every way.
Isn’t brave owned by that weird crypto guy? And based on chrome?
Yeah, and? It’s one of the best options for privacy. I’m referring to their search engine though.
The irony of posting from infosec about how superior Brave is. Bruh moment.
I’m sorry that not everyone from my instance believes that Firefox is the only option 🙄
Dude, there is degoogled chromium, and various other blink engine choices, but touting brave as a “superior” option? Oof. Big oof.
On the gecko side of things, there are a ton of great choices as well. All of them are better in every single way than brave.

Bro. Be better.
“Objectively”
“Superior”
Your use of these words make me think that you don’t understand what they mean. Go ahead, use brave all you want. Big oof.
It IS. It’s a fact. You can run the tests yourself.
Smh.
Why would I use brave (with its weird fucked up crypto links) over Vivaldi? If you’re using chromium anyway, I don’t get the brave love.

Been saying this for years, the day Firefox gets native gestures, is the day I’ll swap.
Can’t live without them (and speeddial tbh)

What has brave to do with this?
They have a search engine…
As I understand the point was the AI tool of the org, not the search engine.
