   Brave Search is way better than other search engines.

   In contrast to other "private" search engines (except for Presearch and SearX), it doesn't have trackers, or not nearly as many. This information can be verified by installing uBlock Origin and ClearURLs, which detect 0 and 2 trackers respectively, against for example DuckDuckGo's nearly 10 and 19. Other alternatives are SearX (No trackers AT ALL, still kinda user-friendly) and Presearch (A bit easier to use but a tiny bit worse for privacy, it has 1 more tracking element).

   🏁 Competitors: DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, StartPage, Presearch, Searx, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Ask.com, Qwant

   👍 Pros:    Good search results|Not too many trackers|Not buggy|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Has 2 tracking url elements

• .pet proxy not working for me.

  Also don't work for me, onion.ly give error:. Source: over 1 year ago

• TOR 12.0 doesn't load images

  I am not sure about this, because onion.autos is proxy for tor, and before that it was onion.ly but they are down for some reason, and the new one onion.autos is having some issues with me. For example, I am in a forum for science projects and a lot of users use it without a problem with onion.autos but for some reason for me it has some problems and I don't know how to fix it.

• How to send HTTP requests to onion website using Java

  If you cant find a library, you can try to use tor2web instead, like onion.ly :). Source: almost 3 years ago

• Tor2Web Comes Stock Now?

  Anyways I clicked on the links while in Tor they just opened normally retaining the .onion domain... I don't know why some other links turn into an onion.ly domain... Source: about 3 years ago

• Tor2Web Comes Stock Now?

  I installed it, (the only option I had was install location), and then opened my VPN (Just to be sure), and then went to a .onion link. The browser instantly changed it into a onion.ly link and told me its block. Source: about 3 years ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  I was talking about Brave Search (https://search.brave.com), not Brave browser. Seaech doesn't promote crypto. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave rolled their own completely independent search [1] on what I assume is a relatively limited budget. It seems that regularly grabbing the data would be pretty easy. The harder part would be searching/ordering it in an efficient and meaningful way while avoiding SEO, but that seems more like a fun problem than a difficult one (if not both).

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave Search [1] is 100% independent. There's also Yandex [2] which also works excellently, but is biased towards more Russian language results. The image search is second to none though. [1] - https://search.brave.com/ [2] - https://yandex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Nice to see https://search.brave.com/, https://entireweb.com and https://mojeek.com are still kicking it. In case anyone needs to know alternatives besides the monopoly that is Google. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago

• What Happened to DuckDuckGo?

  Https://search.brave.com/ using that as my default search engine on firefox since last year. Quite happy with the quality of results. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 month ago
