Cons
Con Potentially invasive of your privacy
Google records your searches. Use incognito mode.
Con Censors search results
Search "Was 9/11 an inside job" and compare the results to Bing's.
Con Google is becoming Big Brother
Google search, chrome, Gmail, analytics, streetview, android, YouTube.
Con Google promotes AMP websites
Google favours web pages that use AMP web technology, a technology that claims to lighten the load of web pages, but in reality in many cases slows down and is difficult to implement. And the worst thing is that it makes Google host and display the web page in AMP format from its servers.
Con Filters by who paid Google more
Ads always shown above organic results.
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.
