    Search engines. No.3 - Brave Search

    Please read first: https://bit.ly/3wHX9CB

    Brave Search was launched last year. It has its own search index, and only uses other search engines when it cannot find the required information in its own index. If you click Info at the top right of the search results, it will tell you where the results came from.

    Brave search does not collect information about you, your searches, the links you click, and does not share any data with advertisers. Unlike Google, it does not manipulate the search results. Included in the results, you may see 'Discussion' highlighted, these are results concerning conversations which have taken place about your searched subject.

    Brave Search is currently in 'Beta' and does not have adverts, but when out of 'Beta' it will. These will not be based on personal information. You will be able to pay to avoid seeing adverts, this already happens with catchup TV and YouTube. Many websites rely on income from adverts and donations to survive.

    The address of Brave Search is: https://search.brave.com/
