Re Brave Search’s Answer with AI
My bookmark for Brave Search, is actually the Brave Search Settings webpage:
‘https://search.brave.com/settings’
Where I have a long-established routine of flipping switches to the DISABLED/OFF position
and then click on the Brave icon at the upper-left-area of the Settings webpage . . . and thereby go to Brave Search.
About Brave’s Leo AI, that is a different issue. I doubt that Brave’s Leo AI is going away anytime soon. Though the Brave Browser user can visit the Leo AI settings:
‘brave://settings/leo-ai’
and DISABLE items, there will likely remain some level of Leo AI functioning that is built into Brave Browser.
If you want to fully remove all traces of the Leo component from the browser, then you’ll have to do so via Group Policy:
