A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Or because they're aware that it'd be a huge waste of time and money? It'd be a lot of work to build a search engine anywhere near as good as the existing alternatives, so it'd give worse user experience and waste time.
Mozilla pushes DuckDuckGo. That is a feature, not a failure.
Just because you like Brave the search engine doesn't mean you have to use Brave the browser. The two have no inherent connection.
Edit: While we're on the subject of money, I'd be more worried about that Peter Thiel money Brave took. That man openly claims freedom and democracy to be incompatible and supports efforts to create independent libertarian societies on international waters and in space.
Or there’s Safari or Orion, neither of which are what you listed. Also, Firefox is not “paid for by google” they get funding through their nonprofit as well.
It's not like google is guiding their development processes, come off of this horseshit.
I use brave search from firefox, seems the least shitty search engine so far.
Nothing against brave the browser, I've just been using firefox for about 10 years so have a lot of inertia.
