    It’s silly to try to avoid doing anything that may, in some way support a bigot. They are literally everywhere. Even Gandhi was racist.

    It’s just the payment info, not the searches. And since their users are their only revenue source, because they aren’t selling ads, they have no reason to save searches.

      Except Brave as a company has benefited from the sort of people who liked his ideals in particular from day one, partnered themselves with a pay-to-play Wikipedia clone made by a white supremacist, and has engaged in unethical business practices that reflect an overall corporate lack of care of other people’s consent as well.

      You might think that under capitalism or something, animal cruelty might be a huge problem too, but I doubt you would buy bullets with the express intent of shooting dogs. (I hope.)

      You also didn’t touch the gaping privacy issue.

      “They have no reason to save my data” is a poor excuse, as corporations always have a reason to exploit you. The fact you have given them money is also meaningless, as corporations like Apple have taken The money of consumers and turned around and harmed their privacy anyway.

        This seems like a non-sequitur. I don’t understand your point here.

        Here’s the section for the wikipedia article you mentioned in your comment:

        = In 2017, Beale launched Infogalactic, an English-language wiki encyclopedia. The site was a fork of the contents of English Wikipedia which could be gradually edited to remove the influence of what Beale described as “the left-wing thought police who administer [Wikipedia]”. It has been described by Wired and The Washington Post as a version of Wikipedia targeted to alt-right readers.
