> I'm always staying away from Brave because I've been confronted so many times with bait-and-switch tactics that I have the feeling that one day they will move away from being good and monetize all the collected data, even though they don't collect data.
The thing is that it will always get worse. Every company needs to grow in order to stay alive and eventually quality and your user experience will suffer because of this, but here's the thing: Always choose the upstart competition but just be prepared to jump to the next up-and-comer after that. For me, I found DuckDuckGo getting worse over time (probably not on purpose, just spam) and somehow Brave is better so I'm sticking with that, but as soon as Brave decides to fuck me (and they will!) then I'll be jumping to whoever the new underdog is at that time.
