Brave Search beta

I'd be really shocked if it didn't tie to BAT in the Brave Browser, but I am definitely curious what they'll do for people who use it with other browsers.

More privacy-oriented search is a good thing, I think.

I’d like more details on what they mean by private.

I do like that they have a metric for what’s independent vs personalized and I think that will help reduce the “I did Google it and my top result conflicts with what you told me” type frustrations, https://search.brave.com/help/independence

Very curious on how this is going to work, especially advertisement-wise

Just like their Ads -> BAT

This seems to be quick and gives decent results for what I tried! Very promising! Going to try setting it as the default...

I believe that in the address bar you should get an icon to set the current site as a search provider when you're on it. On Firefox it's in the more menu at the right end of the bar.
