Brave Takes on Google’s Search Engine

Brave has launched a privacy-focused search engine that’s designed to rival Google. The crypto-friendly company’s Brave Search is now available to all of those who use the browser of the same name on desktop, Android and iOS devices.

The free version of Brave Search will eventually supported by advertising but if this deters users they will soon be able to pay for an ad-free version.

They are promising that it will be free of algorithms that can influence results, Brave says that its search offering doesn’t collect the IP addresses of users — or adjust results based on someone’s identifying information.

Brave’s CEO and co-founder Brendan Eich said “Unlike older search engines that track and profile users, and newer search engines that are mostly a skin on older engines and don’t have their own indexes, Brave Search offers a new way to get relevant results with a community-powered index, while guaranteeing privacy. Brave Search fills a clear void in the market today as millions of people have lost trust in the surveillance economy and actively seek solutions to be in control of their data.”
