Quite a controversial decision… I love Kagi though, but I don’t understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.

    That is kinda disappointing. I had a distaste for Brave after all the initial controversy regarding the ad blocking, which only got worse from the crypto crap they now have in the browser.

    I’ll still keep paying for Kagi, but this is a step in the wrong direction in my opinion. Let’s hope at least the results get noticeably better.

      Don’t forget the Brave CEO being ousted from Mozilla for being massively homophobic, donating money to try to overturn the right for gay couples to be married.

      E: and them injecting affiliate codes when you copy some links, tracking users. Particularly bad when they relentlessly market themselves as being private

          You don’t get labeled as “phobic” for thinking that - you get labeled as “phobic” because you’ve made it, and your complete inability to mind your own business, your entire personality.

    Kagi can go fuck right off with whatever guerilla marketing program keeps constantly putting it in my face.

    It’s clearly not organic growth, and I will never try it because now I don’t trust it.

      Nor should you, now that you know the project is beholden to scumbag money.

      Capitalism ruins everything.
