Privacy-focused web browser Brave has launched a beta version of its Brave search engine in an attempt to create a privacy-focused alternative to Google. Brave is basing its search engine on its own index of websites, unlike rival DuckDuckGo which is based on the Bing search index, making it vulnerable to Microsoft’s censorship efforts.

ZDNet reports that privacy-focused web browser Brave has launched a beta version of its Brave search engine in an attempt to create a privacy-focused alternative to Google. Brave acquired the search engine Tailcat in March and aims to challenge Google by approaching online search with a focus on privacy.

Been using Brave for several months now and 'startpage' for searches. I do a daily clean and malware check and was using firefox for years before. Used to be a lot of clean up everyday for cookies and trackers etc. Since using Brave it has dropped by thousands to maybe a 100 items needing cleaned up. Gotta check out the search engine now.

It’s in the early stages so don’t expect too much yet.

I use Brave as my browser. I’m all on board with using their search engine when its up and running.

“duckduckgo stinks as a search engine imo”

Don’t disagree but it does block tracking quit effectively.

This is one of the reasons the Left/Globalists are desparat to pull off their coup to total government control now.

Google/facebook/Amazon/Twitter will be losing market share.

Good, good, I’ll try it. I use duckduckgo for a lot, at work too. I might check google if the results are sparse. I remember using scroogle scraper.

isn’t the very nature of a search engine “anti-privacy” since it takes anything a person has ever said, and combines it with all other available information and says “here’s what i can tell you about so-and-so”?

it may not be saving records of who searched for somebody or something but all of the information that is presented wasn’t cleared by the person/thing it references.

I cant see anybody competing with google in the next 20 years.

1) Google has massive warehouses full of servers that cost billions of dollars to construct.

2) Google has a lot of highly paid very smart people.

3) Google has perfected the monetized search engine space.

4) Google practically owns many of the written languages of the world.

5) People will always use the best search engine.

It is going to be very hard to compete against this.

The only way to compete is to come up with some sort of cooperative situation where you share a portion of your storage capacity with a few billion other users.

This will never work, because people like to fight with each other.

It is a very perplexing modern problem.
