Does everyone know about the Brave browser and search engine?

If you are tired of Google spying on everything you do and constantly throwing ads at you might check it out.

It scrapes the web like Google but doesn't make recommendations based on ad revenue.

Check it out https://search.brave.com.

The browser blocks all the annoying ads.

Thought it was worth sharing.

I followed the founders story. He was promoted to CEO of Fire Fox then forced out after the board found he contributed to the Trump campain and ran him off. LOL It's my backup search engine but I'm so use to using Opera

Duck duck go doesn't scrape like Google and brave it builds a database index.

Similar but different.

The browser makes the car forums much better on my phone without all the ads taking over.

I tried Brave a couple years ago when it first came out. I wasn't very happy with the limited search offerings, just wasn't very many. That said, I use duckduckgo and lately it doesn't give very many search answers related to what your looking for either.

Brave also didn't get along with the windows 10 operating system that was on my new computer. It may be better on both counts these days though.

I use Brave, it's great. No popups. No Infostinks. No issues.
