Brave Search Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• DuckDuckGo AI Chat

  Pretty cool! I use Brave Search (https://search.brave.com) and it too got AI results a few months ago. They're quite helpful! - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• Are my searches tracked by google if I us google seach in Brave?

  Best way to protect yourself from that is to use other search engines that do not track you (I really like Brave Search, but if you want Google results without tracking try Startpage). Source: 5 months ago

• Google Pays $21B for Search Monopoly: How "Free" Tech Markets Repress

  Instead of DuckDuckGo and Ecosia whose use Bing Search, they should share real alternative like https://kagi.com/ or https://search.brave.com. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Ask HN: Are there valid Google Search alternatives?

  No need to pay for Kagi imo https://search.brave.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Tell HN: DuckDuckGo Search Results have jumped the shark

  It's been a while. https://search.brave.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Colorado Supreme Court Upholds Keyword Search Warrant

  Brave [1] seems to have stepped up their game - at least in the search engine space, and I should get around to trying Kagi [2] as well. [1] https://search.brave.com/ [2] https://kagi.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Techdirt Has Again Been Removed from Bing and (Mostly) DuckDuckGo

  I don't particularly like Techdirt, but DuckDuckGo's penchant for inheriting censorship from Bing [1] (and also doing it on its own [2]) is really disappointing. I think the Tor Browser folks (who obviously disklike censorship) should look into replacing it as the default search engine. The best (free) candidate for now is probably BraveSearch [3].

• Confused About Mobile Features

  Is there a way to add site specific exceptions for cookies? I want https://search.brave.com/ to be allowed to use cookies and scripts. Source: 9 months ago

• The Fall of Stack Overflow

  Https://search.brave.com/ probably my new default search engine. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Edge Hardening

  As for search engines, if you're used to Google then Startpage will give you Google results without the tracking. The Brave Search Engine also won't track you and I personally like the result given. Otherwise, DuckDuckGo is usually the "standard" private search suggestion. Source: 10 months ago

• A quick question regarding armed citizens stopping would-be active shooters.

  Search.brave.com and duckduckgo.com are MUCH better than Google if you are searching for anything the left might find unsavory. They also won't track you. Privacy and real information. Win-win. Source: 10 months ago

• It would be nice if LibreWolf could include the Brave Search Engine

  Go to https://search.brave.com then right click in the librewolf browser search bar and at the bottom of the context menu that pops up click on Add "Brave Search" . Brave search will be added, then you can go into Librewolf settings and add it as default search engine. Source: 10 months ago

• Is it just me or Reddit is better without all the closed subs?

  Or searx, or brave search, or DuckDuckGo. Just changing the default search engine your browser uses is a good thing to do. Source: 11 months ago

• What’s the point of using DuckDuckGo/Startpage if the sites you visit from your searches track you?

  Yes, with Librewolf it should be as easy as going to https://search.brave.com/ and then right-clicking on the address bar which should then give you this option. I haven’t used Vivaldi, so I cannot test that, but I found this support article which may help you with this. Source: 11 months ago

• What’s the point of using DuckDuckGo/Startpage if the sites you visit from your searches track you?

  Just point your browser at https://search.brave.com iirc. Source: 11 months ago

• Is Startpage the best google alternative?

  I don’t see many people talk about brave’s search engine much. Has anyone looked into it? Source: 11 months ago

• Startpage vs Searx

  Since you know a lot more about alternative browsers and search engines, what is your opinion about Brave? (The search engine, not the client. I'm currently using Firefox) I want to move away from google as much as I can, but I can't find really any opinions on Brave's Search Engine and don't really want to make any posts.

• Wallpaper

  A search on search.brave.com shows that there have been no roadmap updates in the last year. This is a complaint I've had with them for a long time. They don't communicate their plans, and they don't respond to requests for help. Source: 12 months ago

• Privacy Guides for OpenBSD

  I’ve been using https://search.brave.com and it’s definitely on par with Google. Source: 12 months ago

• Brave Search removes last remnant of Bing from search results page, achieving 100% independence and providing real alternative to Big Tech search | Brave Browser

  You probably already know this but you can search.brave.com in any browser, don't have to have Brave browser. Source: about 1 year ago

• Google Safe Browsing

  Maybe just me but it seems like search.brave.com and startpage.com searches are so much better than duckduckgo. Both are supposedly pretty private and I've seen claims that duckduckgo is not fully private. The brave searcher is completely independent of google's and the startpage searcher IS google's but, supposedly, totally privatized. I only bring this up as this forum doesn't include either of these search... Source: about 1 year ago
