Just because you like Brave the search engine doesn’t mean you have to use Brave the browser. The two have no inherent connection.
Edit: While we’re on the subject of money, I’d be more worried about that Peter Thiel money Brave took. That man openly claims freedom and democracy to be incompatible and supports efforts to create independent libertarian societies on international waters and in space.
Or there’s Safari or Orion, neither of which are what you listed. Also, Firefox is not “paid for by google” they get funding through their nonprofit as well.
something Mozilla doesn’t even dare, as that’s where they get all their Google money from
Or because they’re aware that it’d be a huge waste of time and money? It’d be a lot of work to build a search engine anywhere near as good as the existing alternatives, so it’d give worse user experience and waste time.
How exactly are they pushing DuckDuckGo by making Google the default? And anyway, DuckDuckGo is just a wrapper around Bing, so that’s not even much of an improvement.

You have the choice between the engine made by Google and the engine paid for by Google.
Brave at least has its own search engine, something Mozilla doesn’t even dare, as that’s where they get all their Google money from.

I use brave search from firefox, seems the least shitty search engine so far.
Nothing against brave the browser, I’ve just been using firefox for about 10 years so have a lot of inertia.

Around 85% of the $450 million they get each year come from Google.
It’s not like google is guiding their development processes, come off of this horseshit.

And yet Brave Search has done so. You got to have to come up with better excuses for Mozilla’s failure here.
Mozilla pushes DuckDuckGo. That is a feature, not a failure.
