   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

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  I was talking about Brave Search (https://search.brave.com), not Brave browser. Seaech doesn't promote crypto. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave rolled their own completely independent search [1] on what I assume is a relatively limited budget. It seems that regularly grabbing the data would be pretty easy. The harder part would be searching/ordering it in an efficient and meaningful way while avoiding SEO, but that seems more like a fun problem than a difficult one (if not both). [1] - https://search.brave.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave Search [1] is 100% independent. There's also Yandex [2] which also works excellently, but is biased towards more Russian language results. The image search is second to none though. [1] - https://search.brave.com/ [2] - https://yandex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Nice to see https://search.brave.com/, https://entireweb.com and https://mojeek.com are still kicking it. In case anyone needs to know alternatives besides the monopoly that is Google. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• What Happened to DuckDuckGo?

  Https://search.brave.com/ using that as my default search engine on firefox since last year. Quite happy with the quality of results. - Source: Hacker News / 22 days ago

• How many days does it take for arc.io to send you invitation code?

  I want to earn money from people viewing my website without ads, and I found arc.io, but you need a invitation code to make a new account, and I sent them a email as an request for the code but haven't gotten any response. Please tell me how long it takes if you know. If you have a code can you please share it with me. Source: over 1 year ago

• WebTorrent

  There is https://arc.io/ which is a P2P CDN. Sites get paid a share of the profits based on the amount of data provided by their users. Seems like a cool alternative to ads IMO, but most people that hate ads also hate having their browser "hijacked" so idk if it'll take off. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Is arc.io a scam or legit? I've found answers on both.

  Arc.io, Is there any other legit sites like this? Source: almost 2 years ago

• A Startup Wants to Rescue You from Browser Tab Hell

  Darn, I was hoping this would be about https://arc.io. I know it's not very popular on hn because "how dare they use my bandwidth and cpu" but I think it's really cool. A viable business model for websites that doesn't require cramming things full of ads. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• I'm making a new premium leech site! (without Ads)

  You could use something like Arc to fund the site’s hosting and the premium accounts. Would make your site faster to load with less chances of your server being overloaded as userbase expands. Source: about 2 years ago
