no, you are right. there is a lot of talk about the brave browser in this thread, a chromium based ad blocking browser by the brave company that gives you their own crypto in return for unobtrusive ads on the start page, which can then be used to donate to content creators on the internet (i think) or be cashed in. you and the op are talking about brave search, a search engine created by the same company

I've been using brave browser for years and, while I vaguely know what you're talking about, it's not something I've ever even looked at.

The defining feature of Brave for me has always been the built-in ad blocking.
