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.

      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

      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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

    This is nice, because screw Google.

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

        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.
