Google has long been the uncontested search king, with Microsoft's modest tries and its reboot, privacy-oriented DuckDuckGo, which fails to entice many users away.
Google's global search dominance estimates range from 70 to 90 percent, but Bing from Microsoft looks to have gained some little momentum in the previous several years.
Now that both consumers and the authorities are demanding more safety and privacy, the business has introduced a new search engine behind the Brave browser, which promises to be a private and transparent alternative to Google's ad-based monitoring technology.
Brave Search, which has been released in beta this week, attempts to operate with its independent Web index without relying on other indexes, stating that it "does not monitor users, their searches or their clicks."
"Unlike older search engines that track and profile users, and newer search engines that are mostly a skin on older engines and don’t have their own indexes, Brave Search offers a new way to get relevant results with a community-powered index, while guaranteeing privacy," Brendan Eich, Brave's chief executive who's the former head of Firefox creator Mozilla, said in a statement announcing the launch of Brave Search.
However, if Brave cannot offer sufficiently relevant findings, it will receive responses from other sources. The results show the search independence statistic that shows the resulting ratio from the Brave index alone.
Brave search is the default browser search for Brave later this year, although this may be achieved via search.brave.com so that users don't have to go to the browser of Brave to utilize it.
Brave's browsers still have a minuscule worldwide browser market share, and they are steadily growing—now with 32 million active monthly users, up from 25 million in March 2020.
"Brave Search is the most private search engine in the business and the only independent search engine that gives consumers the autonomy and trust that they are looking for alternatives to big technology," Eich said. "Brave Search fills an obvious need on the market, with millions of individuals losing confidence in the monitoring economy seeking to manage their data actively." "
During "this early stage" of Brave Search's beta, Brave stated it would not display announcements but said it aims to provide both ad-free premium and ad-supported free searches subsequently. It then seeks to introduce support for cryptocurrencies.
"When we are ready, we will explore bringing private ads with [the cryptocurrency] BAT revenue share to search, as we’ve done for Brave user ads," the firm said in its press release today.
