Pros
Pro Does not track geo-location
Doesn't use localization API or Fingerprinting for geo-location. Is not even interested to localize by ISP IPs.
Pro Has its own indexing engine
Independent search. Does not depend on other search engines for results, unlike Duckduckgo, which depends on Bing.
Pro Relevant Results (better than Duckduckgo)
Search results in Brave are much more relevant than Duckduckgo. Impressive search engine!
Pro Great privacy policy
Everything is detailed here.
Pro Multiple region support
Cons
Con Anonymous Data collected (Opt in only)
Brave Search collects some anonymous data (can be opted out) such as the number of searches made per day, and the browser version and OS version used during query. But Brave Search does NOT record or collect the Search Query itself, not even anonymously, making Brave Search more privacy-respecting than Duckduckgo. Find out more here.
Con Personal data is being sold to finance their own business
Con English only for now (in Beta)
Con Not clear how to navigate settings
Con Brave's CEO is anti-LGBTQ
