Not bad. It's fast and uBlock Origin hasn't blocked anything. But, what's Mojeek's business model?
I think brave search might be it. But right now it's just on beta.
By the way, is closed source as DDG :(
crypto-fascist browser/search engine. stop using it
why is it fascist?
Fuck NYTimes. Im not paying to read a fucking article. But yeah, i know the founder of Brave is homophobic and never apologized for that. There is a difference between someone being a bigot and homophobic, and being a FASCIST. Calling everybody a fascist only helps real fascists to hide in the confusion. I dont know the person, so i cant call him a fascist, if he ever said something like "the Jewish question" yes, he is a fascist, but just being homophobic doesn't make him a Nazi, and certainly, that doesn't make his whole company a fascist company. Probably many people already called him out for his comments. Im not even using the Brave browser anymore, the adds are annoying and all for like 1 dollar a month, and i am bisexual myself. I did a lot of LGBT activism while using the brave browser, so, theres that.
Paywalled articles...
Mainstream media, attacking innovators. Character assasination is what they do best.
Brave is a step forward. I have my thoughts on the founder. Tho those are separate from the products long term viability & potential.
Mozilla now is trying to sabotage web3 decentralized identy. Google is now massively censoring information, and discussion. We can't trust the old browser duopoly to act in our best interests.
