I’ve been using Brave Search supplemented by Startpage for the past 2+ years. When I search for something, I want to get results for credible webpages, not a summary of unknown quality. I liked the previous AI inclusion because it was instant, didn’t take up much space, and I could quickly navigate to the websites referenced in it, but with the new feature it takes up more space, is slower, and not really what I want out of a search engine.
As soon as the feature was rolled out I disabled it in settings, but the AI button stays visible, I get autocomplete specifically for Answer with AI and I get frequent notifications to try out the new AI feature. An opt-out toggle should not mean that I still am pestered to use the feature I opted out of.
This is really annoying, and I’m probably going to end up switching to Startpage or SearXNG or something.
Some images (opted out of AI features):
Lol, people are using Brave?!
I tried it a long time ago and found out that they were injecting links to their shitcoins inside the web pages. Like, additional links in some web sites.
I’m still dumbfounded that there was not more protests about it because it should never happen.
yeah, just donate buttons, you can donate your shitcoin to the creator, just that, can be disabled probably
Brave sucks and the people behind brave suck.
Stop expecting anything valuable from the “crypto” browser
do you remember any of the queries for which you were not satisfied? We’re always looking to improve
sorry, most are too private to post them here, but an exception was:
MySQL RAND
I expected to find the actual manual page from dev.mysql.com , but it wasn’t even in the first few pages.
sorry for taking a while to get back, raising this one on our feedback board; if you have any others there is a submit feedback button on the results pages you can use to just send it our way, not post it on a forum 🙏
