Brave search. Brave, as you know, is led by Brendan
Eich. Mr. Eich is infamous for his unrepentant financial
support of California's Prop 8, aka California's gay
marriage ban. Mr. Eich's homophobia is so disgusting
that he was forced to resign as the leader of Mozilla
after a massive outcry from their employees and
community members. Since then, Mr. Eich has only
defended his homophobia, and has gone on to spread
misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.
I refuse to financially support any organization that
partners with an organization that tolerates such hate
and ignorance. It's a shame, too. Kagi seemed like the
right answer for the internet. But your success cannot
come at the expense of continued attacks on the
LGBTQ+ community and scientific literacy from people
like Eich.

As of right now, Kagi is yet another organization that
puts money ahead of people, just like Google. If it's too
late to back out of your Brave partnership, then please
set a date when the partnership will end and refuse to
renew it. Then, apologize to the LGBTQ+ community for
partnering with an open and notorious homophobe.”</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/nileanefr/media_attachments/files/111/705/641/035/348/363/original/cea95399fac820e4.jpeg" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/nileanefr/media_attachments/files/111/705/641/035/348/363/original/cea95399fac820e4.jpeg</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/2071324">Response from Vlad (Kagi team):“It is easy to get distracted. Google, Microsoft, Mojeek
and Yandex all may not align with our mission to
humanize the web in their current form. And some of
these companies (may have) had far more shadier
practices, depending on your point of view. But now by
using their technolgy, they are contributing to our
mission.
By using their technology, we do not need to necessarly
align with their business practices, leadership or
mission. If someone does not agree with their
government, that does not mean they should not be
using the roads and other infrastructure of their
country.
If on the other hand we worried about all these things
like it is suggested here, Kagi would not be possible.
And what about Javascript? Should everyone stop using
it completely because it was invented by the very same
person they may not like on a personal level? Clearly
these are arguments that go nowhere and benefit
nobody.
We are staying focused on being in the business of
providing best search in the world and showing that a
paid business model is the only sane way of doing this.
Happy New Year!”</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/nileanefr/media_attachments/files/111/705/641/073/815/235/original/67f0a7db23560a40.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/nileanefr/media_attachments/files/111/705/641/073/815/235/original/67f0a7db23560a40.png</a></li><li><label><a rel="external" href="https://gnusocial.jp/attachment/2071325">One other response from the Kagi team (Vlad):“Our goal is to provide best web results in
the world. That means including as many sources of
search results.
By including results from Brave API, we add more
results to our pool, and we put users ahead of money
because this costs us additional money to provide. We
do it anyway as we believe that Kagi users deserve to
have the best search results in the world, from a wide
range of diverse sources. This ensures that if you can
not find something on Kagi, you can not find it anywhere
else.
We evaluate APls only on the basis of merit in the
context of providing superior search engine results.
Considering company x founder political views is not a
factor in this evaluation. We are primarly in the business
of search and we'd like to stay focused on that.”</a></label><br><a href="https://cdn.masto.host/nileanefr/media_attachments/files/111/705/641/166/573/476/original/ce5f14ecf7fcab97.png" rel="external">https://cdn.masto.host/nileanefr/media_attachments/files/111/705/641/166/573/476/original/ce5f14ecf7fcab97.png</a></li></ol></footer></blockquote>
