Softonic review

Alternative, privacy-oriented search engine

Created by Brave Software, Brave Search is the first search engine utility that didn't come from gigantic technology enterprises unlike Google Search, Bing, Yahoo!, etc. This is an independent and privacy-oriented option that tracks no browsing activities, searches, and even clicks. Whether you are a Brave Browser user or not, you'll be able to utilize its services.

Bear in mind that this web app is still on its beta version and you can freely access it as long as you have a stable internet connection. More than advertising and data industries, its first priority will always be its users.

Private and transparent

Built using its own index, Brave Search has the advantageous capacity to answer common queries privately without relying on other search engine providers. The results are actually reflected by a high independence metric although it usually confides with Microsoft Bing for image searches. Through its autonomous foundation, this web search application guarantees you privacy that's free from activity tracking and user profiling.

In the early phase of its beta stage, it will not display any ad. However, ad-free paid search and ad-supported free search will soon be introduced as the tool develops. It exhibits no secret methods or algorithms that could manipulate the results. Furthermore, to ensure diversity and prevent algorithmic biases or outright censorship, it will establish community-curated open ranking models in the near future.

For the record, the integration between the browser and this search engine utility is seamless and considered to be the best-in-class. Those two work perfectly together without even compromising users' data privacy from the personalization features to instant results. As stated, it puts its users' safety on top of everything and provides an online experience wherein you're in full control.

Safe and seamless searching

Brave Search is a notable alternative especially for Google Search who's surrounded by some privacy issues nowadays. This web search tool is efficient, private, and independent thanks to its own built index. Your browsing data and activities are now protected from various online threats.
