Providing relevant search results is essential to building a search engine people want to use. Data contributed cannot be linked back to whoever contributed it, or grouped together, which prevents deanonymization attempts. The Web Discovery Project runs in the background, so it requires no effort on the part of contributors. By “data” we mean search queries, search result clicks, the URLs of pages visited in the browser, time spent on those pages, and some metadata about the pages themselves. This data helps build the Brave Search independent index, and ensure we show results relevant to your search queries. If you opt in, you’ll contribute some anonymous data about searches and web page visits made within the Brave Browser (including pages arrived at via some, but not all, other search engines).

open source is great but people coming from windows will have a hard time coverting every service they use to other more open source services.The Web Discovery Project is a privacy-preserving way for you to contribute to the growth and independence of Brave Search. There will always be a company trying track usage and data from peoople because either they need it for feedback or they want to sell the data for cash. we need a browser, we need email client, we need services like amazon for a modern day in society to make our lives easier. The way i see it all business big or small will always have questionable business practices because they deceive the public but at the same time we need their services. Even moziliza was under scrutiny for making their firefox focus browser everyone flipped out about that. However i will be very slow to load websites becauise it goes through many more servers to get from point A to point B. but tor is a bit slower because it uses secure tunnels if im correct.

then what company make the best browser for safe and secure web surfuring with add blocking capabilites and no tracking but also faster. You could be right but if we cant trust microsoft, Google.
