   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

• Brave Search is the default search engine for AI agents -- not Google

  1. Check your site on Brave Search. Go to search.brave.com, search for your site name, your top articles, your product. Compare the results to Google. You might find articles that rank well on Google but are invisible on Brave -- or the reverse. When I first did this, I discovered several of my technical posts were completely absent from Brave's index despite ranking on the first page of Google. Different index,... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Preums, reminds me that coding without AI is magical

  That alone breaks the basic rule of TDD. And there are great tools like DuckDuckGo, Brave Search and StackOverflow to help us with our needs. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Google Removed 749M Anna's Archive URLs from Its Search Results

  Brave search is also quite nice: https://search.brave.com/ I find Google to generally have some of the worst search results of modern engines with one exception - Google tends to be good at digging up results from things like forums/message boards that don't end up getting listed on other search engines. I don't entirely understand why this is because other engines also have them indexed and work fine with... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Google admits anti-competitive conduct involving Google Search in Australia

  Try https://www.startpage.com/, https://search.brave.com/, https://kagi.com/ or https://github.com/searxng/searxng. You.com used to have really good search, but it looks like they have veered off into the AI chat space instead. Searxng is a self hostable meta search engine that allows you to basically just use the best search engines and easily switch between them. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Perplexity Makes Longshot $34.5B Offer for Chrome

  Https://search.brave.com Both Kagi and Perplexity are customers of Brave, btw. See https://brave.com/api or just ask if you have questions. Will answer what I can for anyone curious. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Awaithuman: pagerduty mcp

  The core of the ecosystem is the official open-source server hosted on GitHub. It is written in TypeScript and implements the full MCP specification. - Source: dev.to / 1 day ago

• Short-Circuit Your Agent Evals: Tier Order Is a Latency Budget, Not a Preference

  This is why the gate needs a trace it can trust, and why AgentLens is the other half of this workflow. agent-eval scores and gates the output; AgentLens captures the trace of how the agent got there — every model call and tool step, the resolved inputs (not the templated ones), the raw outputs. That trace is exactly the unforgeable, agent-didn't-author substrate that Tier 1+2 need to score against. Without it,... - Source: dev.to / 2 days ago

• I Built a Vibe Coding Mess, GitHub Was the Start of Taking Back Control

  ## Tell Git to start tracking your project Git init ## Take a snapshot of all your current files Git add . ## Save this snapshot with a description Git commit -m "Initial commit from AI tool" ## Connect your local project to GitHub ## Get repository URL from your GitHub page ## it looks like https://github.com/your-name/your-repo.git Git remote add origin PASTE_YOUR_URL_HERE ## Upload your code to GitHub Git... - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

• Troubleshooting Git Authentication: Fixing "Repository Not Found" on Private Repositories

  Conclusion Next time Git insists a private repository doesn't exist, skip editing your config file and head straight to the Windows Credential Manager. Wiping out the stale git:https://github.com entry forces a clean handshake, getting you back to coding in less than a minute. - Source: dev.to / 12 days ago

• My homelab stack in 2026: what runs, why, and how it all connects

  Gitea is where all private repositories live: infra configs, personal projects, anything I don't want on a third-party server. Public projects still go to GitHub because that's where the audience is, but a number of those GitHub repositories are mirrored back to Gitea as a local backup. The split is simple: Gitea for control and resilience, GitHub for reach. - Source: dev.to / 13 days ago
