   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

• Firefox for iOS now has a native adblocker

  I don't know why people still use Google. They've sold out and literally been documented reducing search quality to serve more ads. I use https://search.brave.com by default everywhere and for things even they don't want to show you, there's https://yandex.com. I only use google as a last resort. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• 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 / 4 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 / 7 months ago

• Show HN: Founders can now chat with their Git history

  Gitmore (https://gitmore.io) – natural language queries across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket. Instead of filtering PRs, scanning commit logs, or asking engineers for updates: - "What shipped last week?" - "Who's been working on the API?" - "Which PRs have been open longest?" - "Summarize this month's releases" Plain English in, plain English out. How it works: Connect your repos via OAuth. We register... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Built Gitmore so non-technical founders can understand dev progress

  If you're a founder who doesn't code, you probably rely on engineers to tell you what's shipping. That works until investors ask for updates, customers want a changelog, or you just need to know where things stand. What it does: Connect your repos. Ask questions: "What shipped last week?" "What's in progress?" "Who worked on what?" Get plain English answers from your commit history. Automated reports: Schedule... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
