After finding out that I can NOT delete default search engines and I can NOT set my engine up (I am using Presearch ONLY) I will delete BRAVE and stop using it from now on, as long as I DO NOT have choice what search engine I want to use.
Very pathetic idea with this feature, so good luck Brave Dev’s with more bad decisions like this one.
BTW
Your search engine is very poor when I compare with PRESEARCH !!!
You should know that you can set-up different search engine like presearch. I have personally used presearch on brave. brave://settings/search in it turn on the toggle index other search engine. Go to presearch(dot)com and do a sample test. Then go to manage other search engine, and you will search presearch there.
Also, do not note that you cannot remove default search engine due to upstream chromium code. It is purposefully done to avoid URL hijacking. There are about 100 ways to add custom search engine in brave/chromium.
If you are still unable to do it, then google it.
Also, avoid jumping on baseless assumptions.
You can turn it OFF. Just click on the toggle of ‘Index other search engines’. Clear whatever data the browser has stored in manage other search engines brave://settings/searchEngines.
After that, it will not index other search engines nor store them simultaneously.
