Again, there is no tracking, full anonymity, Brave would not do it any other way. That means that no-one, not me, not the government, not the ad department can reconstruct a session with your activity. I can tell for a fact, that all data was, is and will be, record-unlinkable. I did work at Cliqz and now I work at Brave. To know more about the underlying tech of Cliqz there are interesting posts at, some of them covering how signals are collected, data, but no tracking. > There was no tracking on Cliqz, nor it will be any in Brave. Here is “solso” who worked for Cliqz and now works for Brave The browsing history was never sent in any shape or form The browsing history was never sent in any shape… | Hacker News
The view of “solso”, who worked on the project at Cliqz and now continues to work on it at Brave: This is an undertaking to enhance web search with respect to privacy, according to a German press release. Mozilla tätigt strategische Investition in Cliqz, um Innovationen bei der Websuche im Bereich Datenschutz zu ermöglichen | Mozilla Presse-CenterĪbstract: Mozilla has been investing in Cliqz GMBH in Germany since 2016. It’s a pity that it couldn’t become Mozilla’s signature product, but when I see the skillful business strategy of the Brave project, I feel that it was doomed. It was supposed to be the “golden egg” that was considered to be advanced and the real deal…. The Tailcat project started as an initiative by Mozilla to develop an “open search engine”, but everyone has been brainwashed by the convenience of “Google Search” and suddenly (October 6, 2017), an experimental development version of Tailcat for 1% of users in Germany (Cliqz: Germany) was implemented (opt-out function), and due to insufficient publicity, a boycott of Mozilla (Cliqz incident) occurred not only in Germany but also in Europe and the United States as a betrayal of the user-first philosophy, resulting in a drastic decrease in the market share of Mozilla products. The Tracking Protection feature implemented in Brave and Microsoft Edge is a joint product of Mozilla and Disconnect. > Brave buys a search engine, promises no tracking, no profiling – and may even offer a paid-for, no-ad version | The Register
Seeing the potential of Tailcat, Brave bought Cliqz outright and acquired all of Cliqz’s assets. Unfortunately, it was the subject of a restructuring at Mozilla, and the project was terminated, as was the equity stake in Cliqz. The Brave search engine has its roots in the Open Search Engine: Tailcat project by Mozilla and Cliqz. The sociopolitical implications of this type of data collection, while technically “anonymous” individually, are dire for any long term semblance of freedom from totalitarian control.Īnd hence why we attempt to preserve our privacy individually and as a group. It allows for the prediction of how a group will react in any given situation. Knowledge collected specifically to a group or community of unnamed individuals is power over that group or community.Įven anonymous, aggregated data based on separate individuals tells more about a group than what the “anonymous” collection of data would imply. Knowledge collected specifically to you (named) is power over you. If, however, the search data that is collected and kept is tagged to a single, specific yet unnamed individual, then that data collection method is illegitimate and evil. If all search data collected is just added to a database without tagging it as coming from an (unnamed) specific individual/entity, then it is, in fact anonymous. “a privacy-preserving system for users to anonymously contribute data to improve Brave Search coverage and quality, and its independence and competitiveness against Big Tech alternatives”.
