      Not really no.
      Kagi has vastly more features. Most are extremely useful. Including privacy.
      And the whole “funding a bigot” complaint strikes me as kind of silly. The “partnership” is just them using the Brave search API, no different than they do Google, Bing, and a few others. I even have Brave as one of my sanity check browsers when something doesn’t work on Firefox.

          It’s silly to try to avoid doing anything that may, in some way support a bigot. They are literally everywhere. Even Gandhi was racist.

          It’s just the payment info, not the searches. And since their users are their only revenue source, because they aren’t selling ads, they have no reason to save searches.

              You might think that under capitalism or something, animal cruelty might be a huge problem too, but I doubt you would buy bullets with the express intent of shooting dogs. (I hope.)

              This seems like a non-sequitur. I don’t understand your point here.

          That was the part I was asking about. But, K.

              I mean, most people would ask for clarification, but I mean, keep being fucking obtuse. You must be fun in debate club.

                  I did. Didn’t find anything about the “funding a bigot” part specifically. So what’s the deal with the whole “funding a bigot” thing?

                  I’m working. I do not have time to read it at this very moment. The whole bigot part didn’t immediately jump out at me which is why I asked. At this point, don’t give a fuck anymore.
