I can’t shake the feeling that Google is wielding its massive trove of personal information and its artificial intelligence prowess with a view to taking advantage of me instead of offering me better service. However, I have become increasingly frustrated with Google’s search performance, and its commercial focus is increasingly imposing and overt. As mentioned in previous articles on this site, I am a pragmatist, not a privacy pundit. I’m genuinely excited about Brave Search. Here’s my detailed review of Brave Search: Being in search engine limbo is not a fun place to be, so I’m genuinely hoping Brave Search can fill this void. I’m going to give Brave an honest try, since I’ve been quite unhappy with DuckDuckGo lately, and Google’s search engine has been going down the drain for years now. It is also available from any other browser at. Brave Search is built on top of a completely independent index, and doesn’t track users, their searches, or their clicks.īrave Search is available in beta release globally on all Brave browsers (desktop, Android, and iOS) as one of the search options alongside other search engines, and will become the default search in the Brave browser later this year. Whether they are already Brave browser users, looking to expand their online privacy protection with the all-in-one, integrated Brave Search in the Brave browser, or users of other browsers looking for the best-in-breed privacy-preserving search engine, they can all use the newly released Brave Search beta that puts users first, and fully in control of their online experience. Starting today, online users have a new independent option for search which gives them unmatched privacy.
