Brave announces the beta launch of its new private search engine Brave Search, to provide an unparalleled level of privacy to all its users.
The privacy-focused web browser, Brave, has just launched the beta version of its new search engine called Brave searchWith this search engine, Brave is on par with the biggest names, such as the giant Google, to compete using an independent search service that offers an unprecedented level of privacy to its users.
The Brave development team published a release recent report stating that the new web search engine is designed to guarantee and preserve privacy, and is therefore based on a completely independent index that does not track the searches or clicks that users make while browsing the Internet.
A search engine is a computer system that allows you to browse the web by analyzing the files stored on different servers, according to the keywords that you enter for a specific search. However, the most widely used services, such as Google, Bing or Yahoo, do not offer privacy to their users, but instead collect IP addresses, bias results and personalize searches for advertising and commercial purposes. Although this operation can make certain things easier, it also exposes users by collecting and handling their private data.
Brave's private search engine solution addresses these risks by using its own index without tracking user profiles or collecting identifying information.
