   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

• Interview with Viktor Lofgren from Marginalia Search

  > ... a project called "Nutch" would allow web users to crawl the web themselves. Perhaps that promise is similar to the promises being made about "AI" today. The project did not turn out to be used in the way it was predicted (marketed), or even used by web users at all. Actually Nutch is used to produce the Common Crawl[0] and 60% of GPT-3's training data was Common Crawl[1], so in a way it is being used... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Are my searches tracked by google if I us google seach in Brave?

  Best way to protect yourself from that is to use other search engines that do not track you (I really like Brave Search, but if you want Google results without tracking try Startpage). Source: 5 months ago
