If you do not want to download Brave and still want to use this anti-tracking search engine, you can use it on Safari, Google Chrome, and other browsers as well. Shields blocks most trackers, advertisements, and unnecessary cookies. Along with the Brave Browser, users can go online with Brave Search without being tracked thanks to a feature the company calls ‘Sheilds'.

Brave Search, like DuckDuckGo, is working up to be an alternative to major search services like Google and Bing and is perfect for people who are concerned about data privacy (which should be all of us).īrave claims that the Brave Search does not collect IP addresses and does not use personal data to improve search results so the user remains anonymous. According to reports, Brave announced its own search engine earlier in March this year following the acquisition of Cliqz which is an anti-tracking browser with a built-in search engine. Now, it has rolled out the public beta version of the search engine through an official browser app and a new website. Brave, a privacy-focused web browser, has been testing its own search engine for a while now with a small bunch of invited users.
