@Scrollone @cRazi_man But I think itโ€™s contextual advertising. If you search for โ€œlawnmowerโ€ you get lawnmower ads.

I want to support an EU company and the eco mission, but I also want privacy. I used to use Brave but I want to move away from that and still avoid leaking my data to Google.

brave has ties to homophobic owners, and peter thiel. i wouldnt be surprised if brave starts incorporating palintr at some point.

I think the difference between "targeted" and "contextual" is an important one to make re: privacy. "Targeted" means they're tracking you and using your characteristics to customize the ads; "contextual" means they're just showing ads related to the search term.
