agreed, although the fact that you can't block brave's crawler (if I had to guess, I'd say they're probably using the same user-agent as Google to disguise their crawler) and they give "rights" to the data is a bit troubling. also maybe the API doesn't include the citations ? in any case, it is suspicious they managed to make such a good search engine in so short a time, there is more than meets the eye...
