I posted a feedback post about Duck Duck Go’s ad in one of these feedback forums. The post required approval from Brave before it could go live, but it was never approved and I can’t find it in my account. What happened to it and where can I find it?
Was your post positive or negative? If positive than just wait; if negative: well, you cannot say bad things about Brave team…
I was questioning whether they have received money from DuckDuckGo because the DDG ad keeps showing up in the mobile Brave browser and no one at Brave answered my questions when I asked about how to disable it.
I guess you are probably right, my post was deleted because Brave doesn’t want people to see them being questioned about this kind of things.

Brave shields don’t block search ads by default, but you can use Aggressive setting to block. Our principle is not to block first party ads if they don’t track (and we do block tracking scripts including Google’s used on their SERP, but try not to block anything that the engine needs when you do click on a search ad). We don’t need a commercial deal to uphold this principle, and obviously we don’t have a Google deal. We have had a deal with DuckDuckGo but it’s small and again, not a cause for any shields behavior. We do not whitelist for a fee, ever.
