Just a few months after launch, which can probably be called the first news reader that keeps your privacy, the people at Brave take a stab at creating their own search engine to complete their browser of the same name.
Brave Search, which the company announced on Wednesday, is poised to become the “privacy alternative” to, say, Google search, whose massive market cache is built – in part – in addition to retrieving data from each search. performed by its users even when these searches take place in inc incognito. And as others have done Highlighted In the past, if you try to use Google search in the Brave browser, it still exists all kinds of data being collected at the end of Google about the number of ads on the search network that you see or click.
Gabriel Weinberg, CEO of DuckDuckGo, previously said that the only safe way to keep your searches private is … to use a search engine pro-privacy. Brave, in turn, offers its users more than a dozen different search engines to choose from by default, including privacy options such as DuckDuckGo and Qwant, whose slogan is literally “the search engine that respects your privacy”.
Brave intends to align with these types of players for its own search engine, but it stands out from them – and from several mass competitors such as Google – in a few ways. First, the company says it will offer its users two options: a paid search option with no ads or a free option that is supported by the same Brave-centric advertising network that goes through tons of circles to keep consumer data as far away from the prying eyes of advertisers. And unlike some arcane and opaque metrics that Google uses to determine which sites are ranked in its own search engine, the Brave team has already launched a proposal for how its search engine could rank the results in a free navigable format.
