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).

Pretty cool! I use Brave Search (https://search.brave.com) and it too got AI results a few months ago. They're quite helpful! - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

Instead of DuckDuckGo and Ecosia whose use Bing Search, they should share real alternative like https://kagi.com/ or https://search.brave.com. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

As recommended by privacyguides.org, I'm trying to avoid that download token from the main link. I'm jw if those files on the FTP are just as safe/secure & all the same w/o the token still. Also, will I get one from future updates regardless? Source: about 1 year ago
