This could act as another layer of protection to Brave as it loads the website from Brave’s site rather than yours which can help prevent ISP snooping.

Startpage is another privacy search engine that has an anonymous view which is a proxy view in your web browser.

!bangs are awesome and they allow me to search on other websites from DuckDuckGo, I would love to see a similar feature on Brave Search as it makes it quicker and easier to search on other sites from my Omnibar (this is what Chromium calls that bar which allows you to type web addresses and search at the same time) without needing to type out the website because I can just do it with a letter plus an exclamation mark. Though I don’t expect Brave to implement these, it would be nice to see these in the search engine. First of which is the spacing of website listings, though some will like its large spacing, I personally think that it wastes too much screen space so I believe that Brave should have different viewing densities like GMail so that I can have the spacing of the listing tighter.īrave Search in Dark mode also lacks in contrast between text and the background and while this isn’t much of a problem for me, it may present usability issues for some as the text is a darker shade of grey than what we would usually see in dark modes which can make the results hard to read for some.Įnlarge image Features that I wish would be in Brave Search Though this section is subjective, I have a few issues that I have with Brave Search’s interface. Search results from both engines are similar when configured identically though Brave Search seems to be more relevant, in fact, Brave Search as a similar UI to DuckDuckGo but the spacing is different.īrave Search seems to limit the amount of results that it can display without a way of loading more results which can be annoying as it can feel like it’s actively restricting what you can do with that query. The first impressions of Brave Search were that it was very US centric with it defaulting to US Imperial units rather than Metric, though this can be changed with a quick switch though in my opinion, it should be Metric by default rather than US Imperial since most of the world operates on Metric units and Brave Search also defaults to the US for its search region while DuckDuckGo defaults based on your IP location.
