Unlike other privacy-oriented search engines like DuckDuckGo, Brave differentiates itself by avoiding the use of third-party indexes. It ceased using Bing’s search index in May, which allowed for greater control over its search results. While this expansion of capabilities is unlikely to significantly increase market share, it eliminates a major objection for users who prioritize minimizing data collection and preserving privacy.
In summary, Brave’s search engine now supports image and video queries, making it a privacy-focused alternative that offers more control over search results without relying on third-party indexes. Users can opt for Brave Search and enjoy a level of privacy and freedom of access not always available with other major search engines.
