Brave is a privacy-focused browser that automatically intercepts online advertisements and website trackers in its default settings. It rolled out a new Discussions component in April that eliminated users’ need to append “Reddit” to the end of their searches - it now displays results from Reddit for relevant inquiries.īrave is an open-source, free web browser designed by Brave Software, Inc., established on the Chromium web browser. Brave is fast becoming the Swiss army knife of search engines. It has already witnessed 2.5 billion searches within the past year.

In addition to launching Goggles, Brave announced that its search engine is out of beta.

But, for now, you’ll wait until someone comes up with a Goggle that lets me view only articles from satirical sources. Well, some coding is involved developers can read up on the tool on GitHub. To compare, you may have searched the same thing on Google.īut you were a little disappointed to find that creating your Goggles isn’t as easy as you may have thought - here, you thought that you could toggle on a bunch of filters or enter your keywords. For example, you may have searched for “AirPods Pro review” with the “Tech blogs” filter turned on, and many independent blogs popped up.

Goggles are suggested to mitigate this, essentially allowing you have a hand in shaping what those biases are.Īfter trying the component out for myself, you will be impressed with how well it works. While Brave says its engine, which is independent of entities like Google and Bing, “doesn’t have editorial biases,” that doesn’t alter the fact that there are biases naturally present in all algorithms.
