Description of the issue:
Brave Search was better the day it first opened. Bad actors have taken over the company. It is even worse than Google now at providing unbiased sources. It is very limiting for the average user. I think Elon Musk should be approached about buying it. He is friendly to free speech.
When complaining about this before, the other users say that Goggles is a good alternative but Goggles is just as bad.
This actually just puts info together and tries to match based on things people phrase. There is no bias injected to it and Brave doesn’t rerank or anything. What many people, such as yourself, are used to would be places like Google tracking your information and then using your personal data to influence what results you are shown. They censor topics and only show what you might like, rather than what is most relevant to the terms you’re looking for or what is most popular.
In what way? What Goggles have you used and what results are being shown that you think shouldn’t have? It generally is helpful if you can provide specific details rather than generic and extremely vague complaints.
All the search engines are left-liberal biased to a greater or lesser extent. For a start, most alternatives use either Google’s or Bing’s web indexes. I’ve actually found on a number of occasions now that Yandex (Russia) is the least biased overall. For example, try searching “constitutional sheriffs” across multiple search engines (including Brave). Only Yandex returns the website as the first hit. The others all show links to hit pieces in effect.
@openrange big challenge you’ll find is that the majority of big tech are all liberals. This is especially true for the major players like Google and Microsoft.
Then you have places like Facebook which has actually come under scrutiny because their algorithms actually will try to force show you content to make you engage. What’s interesting with the Facebook algorithm is that it doesn’t necessarily just show you things in your own bubble, but it will add whatever is needed for you to interact. So if you’re a Trump hating liberal and they see you constantly argue with people and reply to Trump articles, they’ll start showing you more Trump related things.
But then when you look at newspapers and all as well, it tends to be the Left that have some of the larger publications that float through the net.
Closing the topic: this subject has been discussed at length and beaten into the ground. As @Saoiray shared above, please review the two responses here if you’re interested in learning more about how Brave Search works to stay as unbiased as possible and understand that any perceived biases have nothing to do with us/the way Search is intentionally programmed:
