    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.

    FYI: You don’t have to choose OpenAI. You can also choose Claude 2.1. Its corpus is more ethically sourced & it’s more private with user data, but in return it is naturally less feature-complete. Still pretty awesome though!

    Better alternatives are always welcomed, even if they’re not universally needed or perfect. I already use their search engine quite regularly so I can imagine I will try this occasionally, though I think trust issues with AI chat will always be difficult to overcome for me since I’ve spent the majority of my life doing this stuff for myself.

      Why would I use brave (with its weird fucked up crypto links) over Vivaldi? If you’re using chromium anyway, I don’t get the brave love.

        I would use Firefox over either, but at least Vivaldi’s ownership model seems pretty good (employee owned). Brave is just so untrustworthy at a company level.

          Been saying this for years, the day Firefox gets native gestures, is the day I’ll swap.

          Can’t live without them (and speeddial tbh)

        Better privacy, better UI not cluttered by excessive and unnecessary options, and a fantastic feature set… but I’m referring to their search engine in this context.
