Like many people here I am a huge fan of brave and brave search. And yet I am now planning switching browser and search engine.

I most completely despise AI search! I did not ask for it, I do not want it and yet I now get that shoved down my throat, wherever I like it or not.

Even with AI search disabled I still get “offers” to search with AI. And I still get AI answers, being the android version of brave the worst about this.

I won’t detail here the reasons why I do not want AI search answers, I think plenty of people before already spoke about that. It is MY decision and long long time ago I vowed I will not fight my computer, it is supposed to do want I want. Life is too short for that.

So, unless Brave decides to respect once again it’s users and stop the AI crap when they decide they don’t want it, I think it is time to move on.

Brave team: you don’t need AI to tell you just how dumb this is.

For info I believe the current main discussion on this topic is here:

> [@Is there a way to ACTUALLY disable ai from brave search?](https://community.brave.app/t/is-there-a-way-to-actually-disable-ai-from-brave-search/545575):
>
> Problem 1: I disabled “Answer with AI”, but Brave search still has a button for answer with ai. Its annoying and distracting. Problem 2: I disabled Code LLM. Code LLM still appears in my search results. Also, I’m using firefox, so settings in the Brave browser are off-limits for me. I switched from ddg to brave because of the ties to microsoft, but if theres no way to get rid of the AI annoyances, I’m switching back.
