Transparency: no secret methods or algorithms to bias results, and soon, community-curated open ranking models to ensure diversity and prevent algorithmic biases and outright censorship.Choice: soon, options for ad-free paid search and ad-supported search.

Independence: Brave has its own search index for answering common queries privately without reliance on other providers.

User-first: the user comes first, not the advertising and data industries.

Privacy: no tracking or profiling of users.

īrave Search is different from other search engines because it uses its own index and follows different principles: Brave already offers privacy-preserving Brave Ads, Brave News, and a Firewall+VPN service. Brave recently passed 32 million monthly active users (up from 25 million last March), and Brave Search is the latest product offered by the company in its suite of privacy-preserving tools as millions of users are turning to alternatives to big tech. īrave Search was announced this past March when Brave acquired Tailcat, and since then there have been over 100,000 users who signed up for preview access and testing. It is also available from any other browser at. Brave Search is built on top of a completely independent index, and doesn’t track users, their searches, or their clicks.īrave Search is available in beta release globally on all Brave browsers (desktop, Android, and iOS) as one of the search options alongside other search engines, and will become the default search in the Brave browser later this year. Whether they are already Brave browser users, looking to expand their online privacy protection with the all-in-one, integrated Brave Search in the Brave browser, or users of other browsers looking for the best-in-breed privacy-preserving search engine, they can all use the newly released Brave Search beta that puts users first, and fully in control of their online experience. Starting today, online users have a new independent option for search which gives them unmatched privacy.
