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.

Based on our record, Brave Search seems to be a lot more popular than Ask.com. While we know about 329 links to Brave Search, we've tracked only 29 mentions of Ask.com. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.

My parents computer has gotten a virus that acts up very weirdly. It doesnt let them open new tab unless you force quit chrome and restart it, redirects them to either bing, spanish yahoo, search marquis or ask.com.
