This seems more like trying to capture money. If this was about privacy, they could have just gone with duckduckgo.
What wrong if they’re trying to find more money while providing privacy? Would you rather have a browser from rich monopoly like google? Or an alternative thats self sustainable with its own money?
Does anyone else find the font choice in Brave Search to be an obstacle for them? I just find it so hard to read. I've set Brave as the default search in my browser (Chrome) in an attempt to give less of my traffic to Google, but most of the time I just get frustrated trying to read the search results and repeat the query in Google Search. I know it's ridiculous that I haven't just switched back to Google. I still wa…
Can anyone compare/contrast DuckDuckGo with Brave Search? I use the Brave browser and am a fan, but like many others, I search primarily with DDG, using the occasional g! to see if something developer related shows up better there (I'd say 20%-10% of the time I find additional resources/answers on Google). Does BS have bang codes like DDG?
I’ve been using Brave search for several months now. I switched the day that it was announced. The quality is fairly good, but I’m having troubling telling whether it’s just my own halo effect or if the initial quality that experienced has started to slip a little as it indexes more widely or something. At first I was impressed with how little spam ended up in top results, but lately exact queries for Python function…

I wonder maybe every other day if I could delist W3Schools, by maybe always adding a negating query aspect to the URL. But this all doesn't seem easily supported, when I looked at it. Yep, hating on W3Schools with a passion. Younger self shot himself too often in foot with W3Schools.
I know it is cool to hate w3schools and I don't use it personally, but seriously, can we get over ourselves here?
The reason why w3schools rank highly and have done for years is because for a large segment of users it works.
And as someone else has pointed out the official documentation is often atrocious: both Python and Java online docs are close to worthless if you have a decent ide that shows you method signatures.
PHP docs used to be a lot better in that they described what was going on and why and had comment sections that I imagine they also used as feedback to improve the docs.
I haven't used PHP or Python for years but today there is Spring docs to drive me mad: telling me all the things I know and not telling me anything about how to interpret a Spring project.
Spring is infinitely flexible and there are more ways to configure Spring than there are Spring programmers since most of them can't even configure two projects the same way ;-)
I keep getting NFT and crypto advert-type popups which put me off using brave.

Or just have the "don't show results from this site again" button from youtube taken into google results, and allow me a quick access to that list to manage it afterwards - ALSO, allow me to add a comment to remind myself WHY I did not want to see it anymore.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I tried your example both with and without quotes and I got Apple Hospitality which seems to be correct. Humans make so many typos that for the majority of people, autocorrecting is a net win.
I wish there was a mode for "do as I ask"
It doesn't seem as good. My first search: what's the latest minecraft version Brave: 1.14.4 Google: 1.17 Brave gives me the wrong answer that is outdated by like 2 years. Second search: 白の意味 Brave: On Japan location 6 garbage search results + irrelevant wikipedia page. On United states 3 garbage search results before a relevant result. The first result is literally a private YouTube video. Seriously? Google: Has a sn…
Google has increasingly turned to garbage these past few years. But searching anything non-English on other search engines really feels like randomly populated results.
Location and temporal results are also lacking on non-Google results. Google also over-optimizes for them, so sometimes DDG is nice when Google is for some reason absolutely convinced I'm searching from some random town in another country and is only serving up results for that area.
