In June 2022, Brave Search ended its beta stage and was fully released. In October 2021, Brave Search was made the default search engine for Brave browser users in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom (replacing Google Search), France (replacing Qwant) and Germany (replacing DuckDuckGo). It hopes to explore bringing BAT revenue sharing to these ads in a similar fashion to the Brave ads platform. īrave Search claims it will eventually offer ad-supported free search as well as ad-free paid search options. However, the user can allow the Brave browser to anonymously check Google for the same query. Brave Search aims to use its independent index to generate search results. and released in Beta in March 2021, following the acquisition of Tailcat, a privacy-focused search engine from Cliqz. History īrave Search is a search engine developed by Brave Software, Inc. Also important to know is that as of this writing, there’s no way for people with BAT currency to actually trade it in for cash, but Eich says that Brave will work with cryptocurrency exchanges to make that possible in the future.March 2021 2 years ago ( March 2021) īrave Search is a search engine developed by Brave Software, Inc., which is set as the default search engine for Brave web browser users in certain countries. He claims, that users opting in to these ads will be able to make around $5 a month, and the money will be paid to them in the form of a cryptocurrency (why not, right?) called Basic Attention Tokens (BAT). Still, it’s a slightly better deal than websites tracking you, since Brave will actually do all of the advertising handling inside the browser itself, and won’t send websites and servers your identifying data when (or if) you click on an ad.īrave was cofounded by Brendan Eich in 2015, after he was ousted from Mozilla over a donation he made to an initiative banning same-sex marriages. The answer? Brave will pay you 70% of the revenue generated by these ads.
Especially ones that basically try and grab your attention even more actively by popping up as notifications. The question you’re probably asking yourself right now is why in the world would anyone opt-in to advertisements. Now, however, Brave is introducing a new, opt-in kind of advertising system that lets users choose to see targeted ads and not just regular website-ads that show up as banners, or sidebar pieces on the internet these ads will show up as desktop notifications, which personally, I think are even more intrusive, but whatever. A little back story first, if you’ve never used Brave, it’s basically a browser that stops websites from tracking your movement through the internet in order to spy on you, or serve targeted ads based on your interests.
