Brave browser is literally an intelligence gathering honeypot funded by the guy who created a big data analytics company with an extensive history of working with intelligence services [1].

But yeah. That darn google being the default search provider is very troubling.

Did you make that up on your own or did you read that somewhere?

Here's the source code in case you feel like pointing to the code you believe is doing the "intelligence gathering": https://github.com/brave/brave-browser

You might be confused with something else.

Brave was founded by Brandon Eich (created JS, worked at Mozilla) and Brian Bondy who also worked at Mozilla (https://brianbondy.com/resume).

Neither have Palantir on their resumes.
