Brave Search
Brave Search is still my default, and this interview added a lot of context for why that matters. JP breaks down how expensive and rare independent search indexes are, and why having real alternatives is critical if we want a healthier, more private web.
Pros
- +Privacy-focused search option that isn’t just a skin on top of another engine
- +Helps diversify the web away from a single dominant search pipeline
- +Connected to a broader privacy ecosystem (browser + search)
Cons
- -Not every result set will match what people are used to from Google
- -Monetization (like search ads) is still part of the ecosystem tradeoffs
