@U2, Firefox is not really a search engine, rather a web browser; it’s Google, Firefox’s default browser, that collects data, you can change that in settings. Brave lets users turn on optional advertisements in exchange for being paid “Basic Attention Tokens” (BAT), a cryptocurrency. Wave browser, as with other chromium-based browsers, contains advertisements and/or links that some may find intrusive, and may even contain viruses (and yes, it does collect information as far as I know).

Anyways, I am going to change the language of my first comment, before any other comments.
@Ductwind589 Firefox and brave they collect your data let's say you sign onto eBay they take that information of what you buy/look at and sell that and do targeted adds
@Bellcat That's a bit terrifying. Not that it's anything new, but still a scary reminder of how inconspicuous these sorts of things can be.
Nice to know, I'll keep that in mind.
According to multiple sources, Wave Browser appears to be a browser that collects a lot of data (even personal data) that is sold to advertisers, despite claiming to provide privacy. Once installed, it also makes system-level changes so that it continuously reinstalls itself, once you try to uninstall it.

Yes, I have seen 2 different browsers using the name “Wave Browser” (not sure what this one leads to), however, it is quite unclear whether these 2 are related or not. Don’t try both of them.

Yes, they tend to get into advertisements. There have been “your phone is hacked, get a virus” false warnings in advertisements that tricks users into downloading viruses.
@MrCarrot NOT THE BROWSING HISTORY!

@U2
You can't just simply say a few words just for me to become convinced, at least back it up with some sources.
@U2
Expand on that
@Ductwind589 they spy on you
@U2
I am hooked with what you just said. Mind to bring up more about that matter? I am concerned.
@Bellcat All those poor grandmas-

@U2, but more like potentially unwanted program (PUP).
@Bellcat so like brave and Firefox
