\"The
Brave<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Brave<\/a> secured your web activity, and now it wants to secure your search results. The underdog browser, which grew to over 26 million<\/a> users last year, is gearing up to launch Brave Search<\/a>, a \u201cprivate<\/a> alternative to Google Search\u201d without any trackers or \u201calgorithmic bias.\u201d Brave Search will take on the big dogs, including DuckDuckGo<\/a>, the most popular private search engine.<\/p>\n

Of course, Brave isn\u2019t building its search engine from scratch\u2014the company will instead base Brave Search on Tailcat<\/a>, a privacy-focused search engine from the crew at Cliqz<\/a> (a now-bankrupt fork of Mozilla\u2019s European division). Brave aquired the Tailcat search engine in March 2021 and suggests<\/a> that it\u2019s a suitable foundation for Brave Search thanks to its privacy-focused code.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, the Brave blog post announcing Brave Search includes a list of tenets. You can read the full manifesto on Brave\u2019s blog<\/a>, or skim this quick summary:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Privacy<\/strong>: Brave Search doesn\u2019t track users.<\/li>\n
  2. User-First<\/strong>: Brave Search focuses on users, not advertisers.<\/li>\n
  3. Ad-Free<\/strong> Option<\/strong>: Users can pay for ad-free search results.<\/li>\n
  4. Anonymized Crawling<\/strong>: Big tech companies spend billions to \u201ccrawl\u201d websites and generate search results. Brave Search relies on anonymous community contributions instead.<\/li>\n
  5. Anti-Bias<\/strong>: Brave Search doesn\u2019t use algorithms to create biased search results or censor websites.<\/li>\n
  6. It\u2019s Fast<\/strong>: Brave Search connects to the browser and offers instant results as you type.<\/li>\n
  7. Open Engine<\/strong>: Anyone can use Brave Search to develop their own search engine.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s worth mentioning that Brave Search does<\/em> use algorithms, but it provides filters (or \u201cGoggles<\/a>\u201c) to let you modify how the algorithm ranks content. These filters could provide additional transparency for Brave Search, or help early-adopters refine their search results on the fly.<\/p>\n

    Want to try Brave Search? Brave hasn\u2019t clarified when its search engine will go live, but you can sign up for the waitlist<\/a> today for early access. You could also try DuckDuckGo<\/a>, another privacy-oriented search engine.<\/p>\n
