**Description of the issue: Wokipedia keeps appearing at the top of and right hand side of the search results.

Operating System: N/A

This is ridiculous. Numerous complaints about the biased and site with full of things which are not true which people do not want appearing in their search results. This has been requested for years now, with the people at Brave not even bothering to respond. Tells you how much they care about the user base.**

Would be better if if they would actually listen to their users and remove this nonsense.

Even look at the nonsense their own bot is spewing out:

Reputable sources, including Wikipedia and public health experts, classify this claim as misinformation. The study was cited by Dr. Peter McCullough during a

In other words, keep searching… and thus, I found explanations of the mechanisms.

Thanks for those, but I really more interested in Brave doing something about removing Wikipedia.

Is this some kind of joke? When I was in college we could already use Wikipedia to find primary sources - long gone are the days when just anyone can post just anything to that site. I am quite annoyed with how conservative slanted Wikipedia in the United States (all English iterations really) and have frequently got into fights with Wikipedians about the content of certain articles - “Autarkey” a failed economic policy of closing an economy off to the rest of the global market system, only ever really tried by the Nazis and pre-industrial societies - was presented (and likely still is) as a great thing - “self reliance” not “delusional attempt at protectionism” - this is not debatable, the Soviet Union was the largest attempt at Autarkey - closing off as much of the world as they could within the Soviet model → which very quickly became 2nd fiddle to any actually competing alternatives. I studied politics and history in University - I know this is facts. I knew that page was political - one person hijacked it over time.

I edited that account repeatedly for months and always had the same, practically Trumper position, return to the page - I then went and looked at other obviously controversial articles and found the same thing was happening to various degrees. When I want factual information without as much suspicion (which a person ought to have to all information coming from any source regardless) but when I’m feeling less like researching - I use the French, Italian or German Wikipedia and translate it into English - the primary difference is those countries typically have a much larger amount of information about any given topic. Factual, encyclopedic information - not Faux News or “Truth Social” bs.

I have no idea what site you would rather have than wikipedia but I strongly, vehemently disagree with you - despite my own personal qualms regarding its conservative slant and neutering of the English languages pages information.

If I notice this happening, I will be done using Brave and I will no longer recommend it absolutely everyone I see everyday. I directly started tens and tens of people using this site in person - I have posted about Brave hundreds of times for years all over the internet. I did so even tho the crypto focus at the start and the founders own political leanings had me concerned but Brave has been great at being neutral and allowing me my own experience online.

Wikipedia is not an Ad - its one of the most visited sites on the internet. If you can make this argument about wikipedia - I can make it about absolutely any conservative site I see in my search results - which I will absolutely and very will loudly do if the Brave Team acquiesces to your opinon based demand.

Absolute nonsense.
