What is Brave Search?

Brave Search is a privacy-focused web search engine from Brave. It uses its own independent search index, does not require a Brave browser account, and is commonly chosen by people who want less tracking than mainstream search engines.

Best quick take: use Brave Search if you want a Google-like search experience with stronger privacy defaults. If you mainly need the absolute broadest web coverage, very local results, or deep integration with maps/shopping/video ecosystems, Google or Bing may still be better in some cases.
