Brave is a Search Engine, not a Browser. Brave allows you to pick one of five Search Engines, including DuckDuckGo.
Brave is a partner of DuckDuckGo, so if you don’t like DuckDuckGo, maybe you won’t like Brave.

“Brave is a Search Engine, not a Browser.”

The other way around.

I think you got it backwards, though I tend to think it was a typo and you knew that :D. Brave is a browser and a good one. Brandon Eich is one of the founders of Brave. He developed javascript worked with Netscape and Mozilla. He was forced out at as CEO of Mozilla in 2014 over his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Actually, Brave is a browser, based on Chrome. The default search engine is DDG, but that is easily changed. They also give you the choice of using Quant, Yahoo, Google, and Startpage. (I chose Startpage, and removed the rest.) I abandoned Firefox recently after the comments by the Mozilla CEO, and abandoned DDG after looking at where it sends its corporate donations. Brave appears to be fast, and its Private Browsing function lets you use TOR for even more untraceability. It is also compatible with the Chrome plugin for Enpass, the password manager. I’m running it on four platforms now, one of them being Ubuntu Linux. Liking this combination alot!
