I so badly wanted to use Brave search, but I found it to be terribly slow on its initial search in a tor window, and the results are poor at best.
I was having an issue with Brave that I tried to find a solution for using their own search and couldn't find a single result, but found pages of results elsewhere. I'm sure it will get better over time, but certainly not ready for a production environment yet. Will keep checking back through.
That's a bit of a gut punch! Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water....
Thanks for sharing.
I'm all for corrupting their advertising profile for sure, but I wondered if there was a way to effectively block them completely. (probably not)
My guess is that if they aren't doing it already, that with the power of AI, they will be able to parse out the different users on the same profiles before long by how you use different services and will still be able to target you.
I hate when it feels like we are losing this cat and mouse game
Is this commercialized de-anonymizing technology?
They are claiming the ability to circumnavigate privacy focused browsers to retain the ability to track users for advertising.
I always knew it was possible to do so. I just didn't realize it was actively being sold as a service.
How would combat this?
