So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich.
A feedback post asking Kagi to reconsider has been closed by Kagi's founder Vladimir Prelovac because "Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in [their] evaluation".

Quite a controversial decision… I love Kagi though, but I don’t understand why they would want to drag Brave into this.
Huh. You didn’t check out the About page that actually linked to the source code? Because if you had, you would have seen the author’s name and the statement of conflict of interest directly above the statement that it was open source…
Can you provide a source for the second sentence? After that, I can answer the first one.

No I did not, I knew the website because I had used the tool before, not the other way around.
Thanks for letting me know about the conflict of interest, do you have any suggestions of a similar test?
