“Brave has grown significantly over the past year, from 11 million monthly active users to over 25 million. Brave will also explore blockchain-based options and new developments, including for e-commerce uses.
With Brave Search, users can choose a default search engine that works seamlessly with the Brave browser to provide a complete privacy-respecting experience. Brave Search is open: we do not believe in walled gardens and, as such, we will offer Brave Search to power other search engines.Brave Search is seamless: we will offer best-in-class integration between the browser and search without compromising privacy, from personalization to instant results as the user types.We will explore multiple community-curated open ranking models to ensure diversity, and prevent algorithmic biases and outright censorship. Brave Search is transparent: we will not use secret methods or algorithms to bias results.Prior to this innovation, producing quality results could be achieved only by Big Tech companies, which took many years and tens of billions of dollars to crawl the entire Web continually. Brave Search is independent: We will rely on anonymized contributions from the community to improve and refine Brave Search.We are working on bringing private ads to search, as we’ve done for Brave user ads. Brave Search offers choice: We will provide options for ad-free paid search and ad-supported search.Brave Search is user-first: Brave serves the user first, not the advertising and data industries.Brave Search is private: it does not track or profile users.The Brave browser provides the stringent protections users demand, and Brave Search is being developed according to the same principles: This mirrored the impressive migration to Signal, the privacy messaging platform, after WhatsApp announced a change to their privacy policies requiring data-sharing with Facebook. The Brave browser saw unprecedented growth in 2021, reaching over 25 million monthly active users. Tailcat does not collect IP addresses or use personally identifiable information to improve search results.īrave Search will join the family of privacy-preserving Brave products as consumers are increasingly demanding user-first alternatives to Big Tech. In contrast, the Tailcat search engine is built on top of a completely independent index, capable of delivering the quality people expect, but without compromising their privacy. Under the hood, nearly all of today’s search engines are either built by, or rely on, results from Big Tech companies. Brave Search and the Brave browser constitute the industry’s first independent, privacy-preserving alternative to Google Chrome and Google Search, which rely on tracking users across sites and have 70 percent and 92 percent market share, respectively. Tailcat will become the foundation of Brave Search.
Today Brave announced the acquisition of Tailcat, the open search engine developed by the team formerly responsible for the privacy search and browser products at Cliqz, a holding of Hubert Burda Media. Brave Search is coming just as millions are migrating from Big Tech platforms to more private and secure solutions
