Brave is so confident in its privacy-focused search engine that it is kicking Google out. Brave will utilize the engine as its default search engine, replacing Google in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada. It will also replace DuckDuckGo in Germany and Qwant in France, with other nations following suit in the “next several months.”
Your browser will retain its current search engine settings, and you may always switch to Google or another competitor if you like. The new defaults are accessible in both desktop and mobile versions, Android and iOS.
Brave Search is marketed as the anti-Google search engine. It does not keep track of you, your search history, or the links you’ve clicked. While its independent index may not be as comprehensive as Google’s, Brave believes that the default position will greatly increase adoption.You, too, can contribute to better results. Brave has established a Web Discovery Project in which people may submit data to improve the overall quality of Brave Search. The feature is anonymous and renders the data “unlinkable,” rendering it ineffective to ad customers or hackers. It runs in the background as you browse. WDP’s opt-in structure will restrict its use, but Brave is trying to attract enough participants to close the gap with major opponents.
