Kagi is now partnering with Brave

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

I use Brave an don't understand the hate it gets. Seems like a good alternative to Chrome if you don't like ads. Can someone fill me in on where the hate comes from?

I wasn't aware of the tipping controversy. That's not a good look, but I don't use their crypto features (apart from IPFS every once in a while).

No tech company is squeaky clean in 2024, and Brave's baggage seems better than Chrome's.

firefox is a lot easier to use than brave imo (since in brave you have to change half the settings to get it to work well)

This hasn't been my experience

Firefox doesn't even come with ublock origin installed, brave has all the lists built in and will even ask you to block the cookie prompts as well without having to go the adblock settings.

There is also Vivaldi to consider.

Welcome to the linux world of ideology driven recommendations.

I fell for this crap when I switched from using nvidia to amd because the constant bashing that nvidia gets by linux users only to discover that hardware acceleration is so broken on amd that using the cpu yields better results lol.
