I know there’s some controversy surrounding Brave as a company, and I’m not a fan of everything they do, but the goggles feature in their search engine is a really interesting attempt to give users more control over their search results....
The other reason is because I got the Kobo Clara 2e to make a e-reader case for it, which I did. And now I don’t need it any more, but I’d like a stand in for it just in case, I need to test fit and finish....
