Amazing practices right there
The shady world of Brave selling copyrighted data for AI training
Yeah I only use Firefox with arkenfox user.js. Plus it’s maintained by trannies so it’s never going to fail unless they kill themselves of course.
Le shill copé commences
Nice argument.
>Verification not required.
The article talks about brave search and has nothing to do with the browser
is using you to train AIs without your knowledge
Not related to the browser.
your data for $$$
Source?
't disclose how nor what data
Source?
> Blocks ads
> Posts ads if you opt-in
> Uses tracking to know what ads to post
Yeah, who didn't see this coming? Raise your hands. Crypto-nitwits BTFO.
>This data helps build the Brave Search independent index, and ensure we show results relevant to your search queries. By “data” we mean search queries, search result clicks, the URLs of pages visited in the browser, time spent on those pages, and some metadata about the pages themselves.

>We do indeed have our own crawler, actively building our own index. Presently the index consists of over 8 billion pages, with more than 40M crawled each day. The crawler, which does not contain a unique user-agent string, respects robots.txt.

>Search Documentation: no mention of this crawler at all. So, if you wanted to block Brave from crawling and indexing and ultimately selling your content to third parties, your only option for the time being would be to block all crawlers, which is how Brave would be able to "respect robots.txt".

The crawler is built into the browser, not the search. Respoting the important part:
>By “data” we mean search queries (...) the URLs of pages visited in the browser, time spent on those pages,
AKA Everything you do on Brave is tracked by Brave unless you hit a page with robots.txt anti-tracking script.
>AKA Everything you do on Brave is tracked by Brave unless you hit a page with robots.txt anti-tracking script.
That is not what they are saying at all.
You left this part out champ. Learn to troll better.
this
the only good and real criticism of brave:
>its chromium and thus helps googles monopoly
everything else is FUD
but nonetheless its why im sticking with firefox
thanks for sharing. Crazy how many copey "LE TEAM BRAVE!!1!" gays there are on this board. I jumped off the browser the second they had those in-browser ads with black people in them.
oh and the cringe crypto.
I was always able smell Brave con artistry and snake oil from miles away.
>it does this stuff
>no source
>just trust me bro
>source: my chud asshole
lol k bro
You lost, rajeesh
>unironically using a chromium browser with a built in ad network and buttcoin miner because fuck the queers
holy shit just download freedomwoof if you're actually privacy conscious
Chromium is the web standard
Rewards is optional and there is no "miner"
And there's great Chromium forks that are not google-related like Vivaldi or you can always just use basic bitch Chromium itself.
Vivaldi is non-free while Brave is FOSS, also Vivaldi is severely bloated and runs like ass.
Vivaldi is 95% FOSS. The remaining 5% is the UI and you can edit it in a text file. Dead serious: easiest edit in the world. https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser-open-source/
>Vivaldi is 95% FOSS.
Yeah, so is Chrome.
>Citation needed
>Most of Chrome's source code comes from Google's free and open-source software project Chromium
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_chrome
Either way it's irrelevant, I'm not using your laggy, non-free, Chinese spyware browser.
>Thinks anything by Google isn't spyware
Enjoy your American spyware
>95% FOSS
>5% doing whatever it wants
it may as well be fully locked down
>Brave is using you to train AIs without your knowledge

(Translator's note: Sells *the web crawlers* data for $$$)
the article is just some assblasted gay bitching that their web crawler scrapes and sells copyrighted data

>web discovery project
straight from the aforementioned "assblasted gay"s blogpost in OP
>They do have something called the Web Discovery Project, but from what I gather - it's an opt-in feature, so you must explicitly agree to it before you partake in the initiative.

Not my problem

>Google, Edge and Firefox are using you to train AIs without your knowledge
>your data
I know you are capitalizing on the room temp IQ of the average BOT lurker, but the article says nothing like that whatsoever. There are other avenues to discredit Brave, but why lie? It's about Brave Search, and it's not "our data" it's Wikipedia's data.
When will they implement AI assistant in the browser?
