   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

   Best Forum Experience

   I was lucky enough to stumble on NodeBB in the early days right as we were transitioning a large user base from another forum and needed a platform that could handle the volume and speed of interactions that our users demanded. We took a big risk on NodeBB in 2014 when it was brand new and it has paid off in spades over the years. For seven years our users have consistently raved about ease of use and performance of the platform while on the back end we have been thrilled with the ease of management and low resource needs of hosting even for a site hitting hundreds of millions of hits per month. It is modern, regularly updated, has a great community and team behind it. We've always gotten lots of support and know that we made the right choice and continue to choose NodeBB as our forum of choice.

   🏁 Competitors: Discourse

   👍 Pros:    Ease of use|High performance|Great customer support|Open-source|Free|Scalable|Seo friendly

• 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

• Don't Use Discord as a Forum

  > I'm a big fan of https://nodebb.org/ TIL to what shit Netgate moved pfSense forums to. I'm glad you are fine with it, but not only my FullHD monitor is not a smartphone, so I don't need 400% fonts on everything (and post dates on the faaaaar right clearly shows nobody ever even used the forum) and most importantly - search doesn't work. It's not like the previous forum had a good search, but at least it worked.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Don't Use Discord as a Forum

  I wrote about this a while ago for Slack/forums: https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/archives/3451 but the points still hold. HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29154216 Full featured OSS forum you can self-host or let them host for you (for $). Big fan of letting people use the search interface they want, which is almost always Google. - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Hey Guys, I'm an Open Source enthusiast. StackFoss.com is an open source StackOverFlow alternative, and what makes StackFoss awesome is Focus on open source and Ad-free.

  You said it's based on. This means that there are modifications to the implementation of nodebb. So where is your modifications' source code then? stackfoss/stackfoss is just a single readme file. Source: over 3 years ago
