    Beware that it just forwards your queries to openai

    We have agreements with model providers to further protect your privacy.

    As noted above, we call model providers on your behalf so your personal information (for example, IP address) is not exposed to them. In addition, we have agreements in place with all model providers that further limit how they can use data from these anonymous requests that includes not using Prompts and Outputs to develop or improve their models as well as deleting all information received within 30 days.

          Dude, there is degoogled chromium, and various other blink engine choices, but touting brave as a “superior” option? Oof. Big oof.

          On the gecko side of things, there are a ton of great choices as well. All of them are better in every single way than brave.

            Because it objectively IS. It passes privacy tests in so many areas where others fail and I’m not just talking about those privacy test sites, I’m talking tests we can run ourselves. It’s fine if you don’t like Brave but don’t let your emotions get in the way of the fact that it is, by default, the best option for privacy out of the box. Sure, you CAN harden Firefox or use Librewolf but even those don’t always succeed in passing those tests like Brave does.

      Well, I mostly haven’t used the existing tools because I did not trust the service providers with my privacy, and also I do not think these are such an all important tools.

      However this is a proxy, basically. Isn’t it?
      So if we are fine using youtube through (video proxying instances of) Invidious and Piped, then this should be fine too (if you don’t input private info of yours or others, that is)
