   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

• 'You have blood on your hands', US senator tells Zuckerberg [video]

  Sometimes I still use https://millionshort.com/ for filtering out those crap tier sites; web site search engine still means finding useful webpages - I hope the AI search engines do recognize that as a target to list actual useful sites vs the 1-summary-to-rule-them-all. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Looks like millionshort is back

  After getting a 503 from every search for months, it would appear https://millionshort.com is back online and going to a paid model. If you get the same experience as I, you'll be offered a login/register page when attempting a search. I've found it to be a very helpful resource and am glad there's life there. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi Search users

  Kagi search is brilliant in this aspect. There used to be a similar service [0] not too long ago that blocked many spam sites from the search results. [0] http://millionshort.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Cory Doctorow: Platform Capitalism and the Curse of “Enshittification” [audio]

  Https://millionshort.com/ Then there's neocities, weird subreddits, 4chan, niche forums still running on phpBB discussing all kinds of stuff. You seem to expect that niche communities should've scaled with the rest of the internet. Like, back then, there were a few million people online. Now it's billions, but the few millions still online in their niches aren't interesting enough for you. Why? - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Ask App Not to Track, cause why would it want to?

  Https://wiby.me/ - sites with "classic" (late 90s, early 00s) design Https://search.marginalia.nu/ - text-heavy sites, avoids modern javascript/css/animation heavy design Https://crowdview.ai/ - forums and discussion sites Https://consensus.app/search/ - privileges scientific research (requires an account) Https://feedle.world/ - blogs and podcasts Https://metaphor.systems/ - less common...

  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 / 6 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
