Comment on Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing?

  it’s more about the browse and by extension the brand, not so much about the search engine per se.

    Oh ok - is the browser dodgy in some way? I’m not familiar with it.

      over the years, too many to count. for me the first red flag was them trying to replace ads with their own “safe” ads, rather than blocking them. they have brave rewards, which i automatically distrust. they push crypto, which is probably their biggest sin. but they also auto added affiliate links to binance urls. just all around shitty, opportunistic goblin vibes.
