Description
!0 points by itsfoss on why Brave search is good. https://itsfoss.com/brave-search-features
Brave Search has been added and removed in this repo before. The criticisms of Brave search are not enough to be not included in the list. I have replied to the criticisms at #415
Reason for adding
- Brave Search Goggles (https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart) provides ability for the user to manipulate the search results rather than the platform solely deciding in the algorithm.
- Brave search provides 93% of results in own index and rest is from fallback. DuckDuckGo is not transparent on how much they fallback.
- Brave search supports Tor. In contrast, Google blacklists Tor IP's. More info on how their web discovery project https://github.com/brave/web-discovery-project/blob/main/modules/web-discovery-project/sources/README.md
