The company’s new search engine is also introducing the industry’s first search independence metric, displaying the ratio of results coming exclusively from Brave’s index. Since then, over 100,000 users have signed up for preview access and testing of the new search engine.

The new service is available in beta release and is set to become the default search option in the Brave browser later this year.īrave Search was first announced in March when the company acquired Tailcat, the open search engine developed by the team formerly responsible for the privacy search and browser products at Cliqz. According to the press release published on 22 June, Brave Search is built on top of a completely independent index and doesn’t track users or their searches. Brave Software is living up to its name, as the company has just given internet users unrestricted access to its new competitor of the Google search engine.
