Brave launches its own video and image search

Every image and video result in Brave Search is now served by Brave. Users no longer need to choose between Bing and Google for image and video search.

This is pretty cool, no matter if you like Brave or not. Slowly and surely, many companies are helping to chip away at the monopoly of Google.

Sigh. This is where I have to mention Brendan Eich yet again.

Has his stances changed any since 2014?

Not sure, to be honest. There’s been a lot of Brave drama as of late, like selling user data and whatnot.

Firefox is my go-to now. I just use Brave if i need a chromium browser. Privacy badger + adguard + little snitch mini + proton VPN as needed. Life's been good lol

Why adguard and not ublock origin?

Actually i use both lol but on iPhone i only have access to AdGuard so wasn’t even thinking about ublock

Is there a way to group tabs in Firefox on Android? I’m interested in switching, but that feature is make-or-break for me

    I’ve already tried it stock on Android and it doesn’t work

    I’m amazed they haven’t already. I suppose it was baked in super hard from the very beginning so divorcing from it now must be a huge task.

    Doubt they will, it’s part of their core “attributes” if you will. Theyve been caught doing a lot of shady shit too. Personally, I would avoid them, but to each their own.

    andruid ,

    Well they could get funding from the largest ad platforms in the world, sell user data, or subsidize with over priced hardware built with slave labor. At least if your comparing too Firefox, Chrome, Edge, or Safari.

    A donation scheme built into the browser doesn’t seem as bad to me in comparison.

    This is nice, because screw Google.

    But I'm definitely sticking with Kagi. It's soooo good.

    Well, Brave runs with Chromium so yeah, there’s that

    I hate one more subscription, if it would be one-time, maybe?!

    A monthly sub is a hard pill to swallow, but the more I tweak the options to my own preferences, the better it gets. I legitimately prefer it to Google now.

    If someone is ever going to embrace the peer-to-peer search engine protocol I’m designing it will definitely be them

    Do they inject referral ads directly in my videos? Fuck Brave

    I know there’s a lot of hate on the crypto stuff that Brave pushes in their browser. Heck I don’t use their browser because of it (and also because I don’t support Chromium). But I’ve been using Brave search as the default on Firefox since a few months now and it is honestly pretty good. Much better than Google and Bing/DDG most of the time (for the other times, I do switch to Google). I really really like their AI summarizer and the discussions tab. With them now serving images as well, Brave search is feature-complete as far as I’m concerned. Just happy to see a real competitor to the big tech search, not even leeching off of their index like most others do.

    Dang I might actually use this as my search engine now.
