   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

• I'm looking for a Bluetooth/touchscreen stereo for my 07 mini. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

  3)The route that I ended up going was to build my own unit with a Raspberry Pi running Crankshaft to run Android Auto and a 7" touchscreen that I mounted magnetically to a phone mount that inserts in the CD player. Doesn't look OEM butif you manage cords it looks pretty clean and works well. Also cost me under $100 and I can remove it easily any time I want. I'm a little techy so it wasn't too hard - there are... Source: over 1 year ago

• Touchscreen control with Android Auto? I am looking to add one to wife's car: has original Touch w/big screen.

  Your other option, which I actually use in my R56, is to utilize the Crankshaft project with a Raspberry Pi and a generic 7" touchscreen from Amazon. I mounted mine with a magnetic mount from the CD drive and power it through the aux power port. Mine works both with wired and wireless Android auto, with very few glitches. If you're techy at all it doesn't take long to set up. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Resources to learn how to create a display-driving embedded linux application?

  Crankshaft does this--it's a modified version of Raspberry Pi OS which starts its own GUI app instead of the desktop. It uses the same kinds of scripts as the Raspberry Pi OS [https://github.com/RPi-Distro/Pi-gen](Pi-gen). Source: about 2 years ago

• Android Auto on an Android TV box?

  I think a Raspberry Pi might be a simpler / cheaper solution, using https://getcrankshaft.com/. Source: over 2 years ago

• DuckDuckGo AI Chat

  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 / 13 days 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
