The privacy-focused browser Brave has launched a beta version of its own private search engine.
The new privacy-preserving #BraveSearch beta is available for all Brave users (desktop/Android/iOS), as well as from other browsers at https://t.co/tBr16frkJI. Built on top of an independent index, it doesn’t track users, their searches, or their clicks. https://t.co/B5xrJv9w6x

To implement Brave Search, the company bought the open source search engine Tailcat. It does not collect IP addresses and does not use users’ personal information.
A beta version of the search engine is available in Brave for computers and mobile devices on iOS and Android, as well as for other browsers.
“Brave Search is the most confidential and only independent search engine, giving users the control and privacy they seek in alternatives from major tech companies,” said Brave CEO and co-founder Brendan Eich.
More than 100,000 users have applied to test the beta, according to a press release. According to the company, the monthly audience of the Brave browser has exceeded 32 million active users.
Brave Search works ad-free in beta. Later, developers will offer a choice between free search with ads or paid, but no banners.
Earlier, the company began developing its own decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. The launch date is still unknown.
In January, the Brave developers integrated support for the IPFS (“Interplanetary File System”) protocol.
In February, NFT was added to the Brave marketplace.
