@[email protected] @[email protected] Brave is actually quite good. I'd encourage you to try it for a week on your desktop or mobile device. We'd love your feedback afterwards! 😊
@z428 @[email protected] @[email protected] I appreciate your balanced perspective, Kristian. Please do let us know if there is anything further I can do to assist you in your evaluation of Brave and our services. All the best!
@[email protected] I'm sorry you're upset. Have a nice evening.
@[email protected] That may be true, but it's irrelevant. Vox Day wasn't added as an optional search engine, Infogalactic was. Infogalactic doesn't appear to deny the holocaust, so your point is invalid.
@[email protected] No idea what you mean by "we added a holocaust denier to our browser." It was one of many search engines. Also, doesn't look like Infogalactic denies the holocaust: https://infogalactic.com/info/The_Holocaust
@[email protected] With sincere respect, I think you're making much ado about nothing. It was one of many search engines, and wasn't default. There aren't swastikas on the page or anything obviously alarming. It was later removed following user feedback.
@[email protected] Or, Eich received numerous requests for a page, and subsequently gave it a quick once-over before suggesting we honor the community request. That is certainly quite reasonable.
@[email protected] Not sure how that detail would cause us to not list this as an option in the early days. It was just another search engine among many. Cursory review of the front page raised no alarms. Gone now.
@[email protected] I'm not saying a deep review wouldn't have revealed connections. I'm saying it isn't a stretch to understand that a cursory glance at the front page (and the name) give the impression the site is _just another wiki_. Besides, it was removed in a later update. Certainly you can see this from our perspective.
@[email protected] Do you have any reason to believe Brendan saw this as a Neo Nazi website when he filed that issue? I mean, I just checked the site out and the front page has articles on DNA, Venus, and some other seemingly benign Wiki-content. Certainly, if you're being fair, you would agree that a cursory glance at this site would suggest it's just another Wiki-style source, no?
