![]() Image and video search makes Brave Search a more comprehensive search engine while protecting user privacy. What this means for Brave Search and users Whether it’s a matter of personal safety or personal preference, users should be able to discover content without their search engine reporting and profiling those results to a Big Tech company. Increasingly, users are using their favorite social and content platforms to discover visual content-but this comes at a significant cost to user privacy.īrave Search is private and anonymous, which sets a high bar for image/video search to meet. Web content searches make up the majority of all search engine results, while image/video search has become fragmented, due to the exponential growth of visual content on the Internet. This was a temporary decision to help users find results with minimum hassle, while we worked to offer a sustainable, privacy-preserving, and independent image and video search option. We realize that the redirect option was not popular with some of our users, and thank them for their patience during this transition. To bridge the gap between the removal of Bing (which accounted for only 7% of results) and providing our own solution today, we temporarily gave our users the option of an alternate image/video search via redirect to Bing or Google, allowing us to maintain convenient and familiar search habits from within Brave Search. This comes on the heels of removing calls to Bing’s search API for images and videos this past May. Our recently released Brave Search API will also imminently include these image/video results. Now any Brave Search query can be served directly from Brave’s own index, enabling users to benefit from a fully independent search engine that protects their privacy and is censorship-resistant. Users will no longer need to leave Brave Search for image and video search results. IntroductionĪfter several months of development, Brave Search is releasing its own privacy-preserving image and video search that is independent from Big Tech search engines. Users no longer need to choose between Bing and Google for image and video search.
