I was home schooled. I was a very bored child. When I was young I read 3 different volumes of Encyclopedias from cover to cover - one from the interwar period, one from the 60s but before 68, and one from the 90s - after the wall came down. 3 different eras. I was thrilled to learn/read how everything changed - it also became much more factual.
When I first found my way onto to wikipedia, I looked up topics I had a great deal expertise on in my youth - the American Civil War, The Roman Empire, WWII - etc. I was already quite impressed with Wikipedia at the time - despite frequently encountering errors or paragraphs where people wrote in something “funny or perverted” and nobody had noticed yet - the core foundation of Wikipedia is facts and the 2,500 people who have contributed the lions share of the 5 million + pages are people who are dedicated to it being factual - something that could be used as a source for a term paper in University. Wikipedians are also super nitpicky and care an immense amount about it being high quality - hence why it is so factual and devoid of “jokes” now.
If Brave Browser is going to summarize an Encyclopedia on the edge of search results - it can really only Wikipedia, as the rest of them are not free, nor are they updated as frequently.
I don’t want Brave to take a political stance against Wikipedia - that is absolute nonsense and desptie using this browser for everything - I will not only stop, I will write articles, post op eds, type thousands of comments and do so from the perspective of a former super user.
