I never understood why people would use brave over firefox

To quote myself
- Brave access your IP address upon your visit to determine your location and better serve you ads. While they claim to not store IP addresses, unlike DDG and Startpage, they do read your full IP address which is not private.
- Brave uses Amazon Cloudfront as their CDN, meaning all traffic passes through Amazon servers.
- Brave Search is currently not displaying any ads in their Beta period, but the free version of Brave Search will soon be ad-supported. Brave Search will also offer an ad-free premium version in the near future, it is unclear if you can, similar like with Talk, use your Rewards to unlock the premium version or not.
I contacted Eich and the official Brave account on Twitter but they refused to give me a statement on this, until this is fixed I suggest using Qwant.
and they have not released the code yet, which they said they would
I think it will be like google, not private.
I like Presearch too. Their aiming for web3.
