Google tracks your search queries and logs your history (unless you manually delete it or disable recording your activity). Here, let me highlight a few features in Brave Search that make it an interesting alternative to Google Search. You can read comparison articles for Brave vs Firefox and Brave vs Vivaldi to understand how the browser stands against the competition. Even though not every service turns out to be better than Google (regarding features), Brave Search seems to be a compelling choice when considering Brave Browser as a successful open-source replacement to Google Chrome. Of course, there are various other private search engines out there trying to offer a privacy-focused experience. Brave Search itself is not open source at the moment. Brave Search is an ambitious initiative by Brave Software based on the open-source project Tailcat, which tries to take on the big tech by introducing the ability to search anonymously.
