Adding more customization and settings similar to duckduckgo would get me to switch. If this is added, also add settings sync through a code like duckduckgo.
I believe from what you are asking, that you can actually already do both… (keep scrolling past the articles to make sure you see everything)…
I suggest reviewing this first post and looking at Search & Sync (but again MORE below):
SEARCH:
You can go here:
brave://settings/searchEngines
or to find your own path
Open Brave Settings
Search Engine
Manage search engines and site search
and customize them just as you can with DuckDuckGo’s !Bang feature
(just go to a website, search something such as “test” and then replace “test” with “%s” as required in setting up site searches)
SYNC:
Go here and setup Brave Sync:
brave://settings/braveSync
Read these posts about Brave Sync in the Help Section (as pointed out above) if you need further assistance…
(FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS THOUGH IF YOU NEED FURTHER GUIDANCE)
