@thenewoil I'm talking about brave, it sounds both innovative and strange. I dislike the idea of ad placement directly in the browser/search engine. Also I can't imagine who would pay 3$/mo just to keep their search engine ad-free.

@GergelyBoth @thenewoil I think this mindset needs to change, web search is a service which costs them money.
Somehow all of the services need to pay their bills.

I agree somewhat on the brave point, I am not sure if I trust that they could keep my payment data and my search data separate enough.

I do like that they do their own web index. So I would hope that I can trust them more in the future

@raphty @thenewoil for paying the bills they could just open a blog-like site for "brave recommends" or something, instead of directly interfering with search results just because someone I probably don't care about gives them money. I try to keep my browsing experience as clutter-free as possible, while periodically checking for what's good that's new WHEN I want to.
