   Brave Search is way better than other search engines.

   In contrast to other "private" search engines (except for Presearch and SearX), it doesn't have trackers, or not nearly as many. This information can be verified by installing uBlock Origin and ClearURLs, which detect 0 and 2 trackers respectively, against for example DuckDuckGo's nearly 10 and 19. Other alternatives are SearX (No trackers AT ALL, still kinda user-friendly) and Presearch (A bit easier to use but a tiny bit worse for privacy, it has 1 more tracking element).

   🏁 Competitors: DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, StartPage, Presearch, Searx, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Ask.com, Qwant

   👍 Pros:    Good search results|Not too many trackers|Not buggy|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Has 2 tracking url elements

• Ask HN: What not-profit-seeking project are you tinkering with this week?

  I'm working on a non-profit search engine (https://ask.moe) where the plan is to donate 100% of our profits to other non-profit organizations and charities (that are much better equipped to put the money to good use, and have a proven track record).

• Google Pays ‘Enormous’ Sums to Maintain Its Search Engine Dominance DOJ Says

  It's just as hard on Chrome and every other browser. So far I've yet to meet a single non-developer capable of changing their default search engine to my website without my help. Try changing the default search engine on iOS Safari to some search engine that Apple hasn't hardcoded into their settings (e.g. https://ask.moe, https://search.brave.com, etc). - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Share your side project and your motivation

  Https://ask.moe - a non-profit search engine that donate 100% of our profits to charitable organizations chosen by our users. I decided to pursue this project because it's something that can easily be expanded to include everything (sports, shopping, podcasts, news, videos, coupons, etc) in a natural way, and I managed to find an (imo) awesome domain name. The website has seen long pauses due to difficulties in... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Yep, the Google alternative that shares revenue with creators. By Ahrefs

  I'd like to throw mine into the mix (we're a non-profit that plans to donate 80% of our profits to other non-profit organizations and charities, but we need more traffic before Google will enable ads, so at the moment then we're ad-free and not generating any income to donate): https://ask.moe. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• 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 / 19 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
