Every image and video result in Brave Search is now served by Brave. Users no longer need to choose between Bing and Google for image and video search.

This is pretty cool, no matter if you like Brave or not. Slowly and surely, many companies are helping to chip away at the monopoly of Google.

      Firefox is my go-to now. I just use Brave if i need a chromium browser. Privacy badger + adguard + little snitch mini + proton VPN as needed. Life’s been good lol

      Doubt they will, it’s part of their core “attributes” if you will. Theyve been caught doing a lot of shady shit too. Personally, I would avoid them, but to each their own.

      I’m amazed they haven’t already. I suppose it was baked in super hard from the very beginning so divorcing from it now must be a huge task.

      Well they could get funding from the largest ad platforms in the world, sell user data, or subsidize with over priced hardware built with slave labor. At least if your comparing too Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Safari.

      A donation scheme built into the browser doesn’t seem as bad to me in comparison.
