Quite a controversial decision.... I love Kagi though, but I don't understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.

You can count me as one of those people so don’t get me wrong; I’m all for not supporting Brave or Eich. I was just curious why this instance where Kagi is paying to use Brave’s search API (which, IMO, doesn’t carry the weight of being labeled a partnership any more than me being a partner with Sony because I pay for PS+) among many other companies/products is the dealbreaker for those that use Kagi. And there may be more to the story (or maybe there is an actual partnership I’ve missed) so I’m open to being more informed.

But if thats the root of the controversy, I can respect that even if I don’t necessarily align with the level of outcry here.
