   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

• Guide for the perplexed – Google is no longer the best search engine

  I've came to use Brave search [1] lately, and find it is super convenient with the auto-AI-based answers based on the top search results (or at the click of a button if it isn't triggered automatically). The ability to ask various questions right from the browser location bar without login is convenient and a surprisingly big deal IMO.

• Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30M Chrome users sus

  That's for brave's search product (https://search.brave.com/), not its browser. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Google loses DOJ Antitrust suit

  I also left DDG, but have been very satisfied with Brave's search. [1] They also have a nice optional LLM system built in that provides citations to what it says, which is pretty neat. They also have 'goggles' which enable you to apply or create a chosen filter to reorder/refilter results. So e.g. Getting news while blocking partisan sites (or indulging our own partisan preferences), searching only tech blogs,... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Mojeek – The alternative search engine that puts the people who use it first

  Currently in search for an alternative search engine to Google or Bing, used DDG for a while but found Brave's Search [1] structured results more useful which is now my default. So far so good but if Brave enshittifies their results may consider having to pay for kagi.com. [1] https://search.brave.com. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• I wish there was a black screen option for all youtube videos

  There is an app called Youtube Vanced that gives you the benefits of premium without paying (so no ads, able to let youtube run while using other apps, able to lock the screen and have it still play) that I've been using for a year now. It's really nice. You have to get it from their website though, it's not on the app store because google doesn't like it lol. Source: almost 2 years ago

  A revolutionary tactic is using YouTube vanced instead of YouTube premium https://youtubevanced.com/. Source: about 2 years ago
