Brave Search
Brave Search is a search engine developed by Brave Software.
Brave Searchuses its own web index. As of May 2022, it covered over 10 billion pages and was used to serve 92%of search results without relying on any third-parties, with the remainder being retrievedserver-side from the Bing API or (on an opt-in basis) client-side from Google. Accordingto Brave, the index was kept "intentionally smaller than that of Google or Bing" in order tohelp avoid spam and other low-quality content, with the disadvantage that "Brave Search isnot yet as good as Google in recovering long-tail queries."Brave Search Premium: As of April 2023 Brave Search is an ad-free website, but it willeventually switch to a new model that will include ads and premium users will get an ad-free experience.User data including IP addresses won't be collected from its users by default. A premium accountwill be required for opt-in data-collection.
