    I honestly don’t see the issue here, looks to be another case of FUD

    First of all theres no linked article, but im going to assume this is referring to the ai summarizer feature of their search engine, which frankly is the main reason i’ve stuck with their search engine over others. Sure ai sucks for content creators, but there’s no disputing its convenient for users, and at least with every result it links to sources it’s crawled for that specific info, which credits the author.

      agreed, although the fact that you can’t block brave’s crawler (if I had to guess, I’d say they’re probably using the same user-agent as Google to disguise their crawler) and they give “rights” to the data is a bit troubling. also maybe the API doesn’t include the citations ? in any case, it is suspicious they managed to make such a good search engine in so short a time, there is more than meets the eye…
