Sensible. If I use mojeek and it does not get what I am looking for, I click on the Brave button it supplies. This gives all responses from the Brave search engine. If A.I. used by Brave brings back a gathered response it appears at the top. It does not always happen though, but I usually provide links when there is one. I am more than happy to state what a Brave A.I. has come back with but can't go to the trouble of copying all the links it has used to put the answer together, or is this also required?
