Talk:Brave (web browser)/GA1

General review

The see also could use a rework, something like Firefox#See_also and Google Chrome#See_also. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 03:50, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

I'm typically not a fan of See also sections and IMO the Firefox and Google Chrome "See also" sections are too bloated. From my POV I've included almost all relevant links in the body of the article (including privacy-related ones and references to other browsers) Sohom (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

The history section seems too long, adding subheading or splitting out the acquisition history might be a good option, but there are many others.

Prose review

"On March 3, 2021, Brave Software announced the acquisition of Tailcat, a search engine developed by the team formerly responsible for the privacy search and browser products at Cliqz, a holding of Hubert Burda Media" is straight from https://brave.com/blog/brave-search/, this should be rephrased.

Fixed (I think) -- Sohom (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

Other notes

• I remembered some issues about brave scraping personal data for AI training (https://stackdiary.com/brave-selling-copyrighted-data-for-ai-training/). Maybe this deserves a mention? GalStar (talk) (contribs) 04:03, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

• Stackdiary and Hackernews are not reliable sources, similarly neither is Hackernews (the other place that covered it) -- I did not find any mention of this incident in RS which is why I did not include it. Sohom (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

• Depending on the majority opinion "privacy-focused web browser" might be better if reworded as "Brave markets itself as a privacy browser", this isn't something I'd suggest, but just a note. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 04:10, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

• I think in every place I've said "privacy-focused web browser" I've said something of the effect "marketed as a privacy-focused web browser" or "... released Brave browser positioning it as a privacy-focused browser" -- Sohom (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

• "Criticism" might be a good subsection to add. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 04:10, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

• See WP:CRITICISM, MOS is kinda iffy about adding Criticism sections since it tends to skew the article towards the negative side. For what it's worth, I've included almost every piece of criticism covered by RS inline (including references to Tom Scott, revenue model, privacy issues, the founder's views and the cryptocurrency incident) -- Sohom (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

GalStar, I've responded to your points! Sohom (talk) 14:09, 16 July 2025 (UTC)

@Sohom Datta Thanks for taking the time. GalStar (talk) (contribs) 17:38, 16 July 2025 (UTC)
