I'm very glad for this! I've been using Brave search almost since it launched, and the standard results have gotten great, but it's always been a bummer to have to go out to Bing/Google for images/video. It's really nice having an alternative that isn't just wrapper around someone else's search index.

When will Brave Search launch a crawler update that lets me specifically block its crawler in robots.txt like every other search engine supports?

No mention of reverse image search sadly. I've been looking for anything better than Google/yandex forever.

Bing has its own and it's not bad.

Usually google+tineye+bing+yandex will yield some useful results

What does being "woke" or "based" mean when it comes to concrete issues you have using their products?

In this context... well, bing hiding the tiananmen square protests (mentioned in the article) or google returning a list of exclusively black people when you searched for "american inventors" are two incidents that come to mind.

I see they say "if a domain or page is not crawlable by any search engine (it has a noindex tag), or if it is not crawlable by googlebot, then Brave Search’s bot will not crawl it either."

Bing hiding "tank man" is not "woke" by any common definition of the term.

Got a reference on the Google incident? Sounds like misinformation.
