Yet we're still back to Larry Page and Sergey Brin's conclusion in their "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" research paper[0]:
> We expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers.
Brave Search Premium hasn't been around nearly as long as their free tier serving ads, and I'm not confident this conflict of interest is gone.
Having independent indexes is a win regardless though.
