  • To the folks who posted useless comments instead of actually helping: Thanks for nothing.

    I don’t know what you expected. There’s no need to be rude. Installing a Flatpak for example is a very valid answer and would definitely solve the problem.

    And initially you didn’t even say how did you install brave, which is quite relevant in order to find a solution.

    Edit: You put the error in a screenshot which leaves it rather useless for searching the error in the web. In general, I’d say that you have very little error solving skills and instead of thanking for “nothing” you should be thankful that people even bothered to answer.


  • yes, but you missed an essential step of the process: apt handles dependencies for you. maybe not in this case, but installing .debs directly requires installing dependencies manually and it’s not uncommon for people to forget about this and then saying that the program does not work.

    installing from an apt repo is always better as long as the repo is trusted (and it should be if you’re installing .debs from it anyway) because it handles dependencies and updates automatically. If you just install the .deb, you’ll have to repeat the process per each update.













  • no need for a restrictive license! people can just take an apk and slap ads or malware on top. they do it all the time with fake candy crush apks. So I’m pretty sure they won’t care about this license.

    I think that in the license is just a excuse so no one is redistributing the app and they can make money from it.




  • This is clearly biased. Your points against SearXNG are weak. And you purposefully ignore the huge privacy implications of needing an account to do searches.

    I don’t think this is written by a bot, but I’d say it’s either a camouflaged ad or a rather biased article.

    Edit: To be clear. I do not care that a certain company has a good privacy policy. I want verifiable facts, not unverifiable claims. Their backend is proprietary, while SearXNG is free software. There’s only one entity behind that company, which could be (or turn) malicious at any moment. Meanwhile, SearXNG is hosted by multiple individuals and organizations, you could even use a different instance each time, so it’s impossible to corelate your search queries.

    So yeah, this is a rather biased article towards a certain company.




  • until you release that due to needing an account, all your search queries are tied to your account and even if they claim not to, it would be trivial for Kagi to associate all of them with you.

    and we don’t have the code of their servers, we know nothing of how they handle this critical information, other than their “trust me bro”.

    (and even if they are not directly associating this information, if they store some kind of logs, it would probably be trivial for any third party that gets access to their servers to make the association. an again, we know nothing about their procedures)
