No body said it’s going to have the same level of security, but that still doesn’t mean that should just give up on it, just put a small icon indicating this is a WhatsApp user.

Signal refusing to federate with WhatsApp, even though meta says they will still use the signal protocol is the most bone headed decision I have ever seen from them.

There no better chance to break the network effect than this.

As if there is any comparison, bing is miles better, especially in gpy-4 mode.

I’ve seen dumb answers to this, “Google is fine because I don’t care what they know, it’s not going to affect my life”

It’s nothing privacy invasive. It’s a way to improve their search engine, these hit pieces against brave always get over amplified for no reason.

You are being sold access to their AI model, not just content. OpenAI is doing the same thing, and until the court bans that, it’s legally ok, if you are asking morally, then that differs from person to person, and for companies any competitve edge is worth it.

I personally stopped caring as its going to happen anyway, the only way to stop it is the courts to get involved, as any search engine won’t be competitve without AI assists.

And even that isn’t clear, we don’t know if AI learning is fair use or not, they are many arguments on both side, with big names like the EFF siding with the fair use.

Honestly I don’t care about his political beliefs, and Brave search is the only competitve independent search engine out there, it’s genuinely a joy to use. Until AI crawling gets banned they aren’t doing anything wrong.

Brave continues to be the best mainstream private browser, backed by actions instead of empty words like Firefox.

This not exclusive to brave, AI copyright is still not clear. Bing and others like Bard are doing the same.

I agree, the VPN app is just awful, and now drive will take forever to arrive on Linux, probably with a half assed version too.

I don’t know what they have multiple apps, just create one app for everything, mail and calender bridge and sync. A VPN makes sense to be separate, but that can be included too.

Though mail + Simplelogin + VPN(just using the wireguard config) is a killer combination, now with Pass being almost ready to use, proton Unlimited is a very good subscription.
