skilledtothegillsThe shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training
Can anyone recommend a good alternative that works well under Linux and block ads and trackers well? In particular YouTube ads?
Firefox with uBlock Origin has been working well for me, for ads at least. I haven’t looked too much into blocking trackers but I think Firefox has some ability to do that

What about a search engine though?

I used to use it but switched to brave after reading that they lied about tracking.
Any others? (and not the one that requires a subscription, thanks)

I think that topic got really heated back then. DDG is far more transparent than any other companies and also did a statement regarding this. Besides that it’s still the most private search engine next to Searxng. And SearXNG is less convenient.
That’s also the reason why it is still used within the Tor browser for example.
