I found this of more than passing interest.
After reading a long, damning article on how Amazon manipulates their products, I thought I would see what I could learn.
Using Safari, I went to , and in their search bar put [mens beard trimmers]. ?At the top of the results, clearly marked as sponsored, were those items whose manufacturers had paid Amazon to place them at the top of their search results. ?So far, so good. ?Oh, when I did a search on that page for “sponsored”, I got 19 matches.
Next, using Brave, I did exactly the same thing. ?Not one single item was identified as sponsored and when I did a search on that page for “sponsored”, I got no matches.
Finally, Google Chrome produced the same results as Brave: ?no sponsored items were so marked.
I find it disturbing that only Safari correctly identified all those items which paid to be sponsored whereas Brave and Google Chrome do not.
An argument for using Safari when you go shopping on Amazon?
Can anyone else replicate these findings?
Happy Thanksgiving to those of us in the U.S.?
