Similarly, the number of sites that allow Google and Bing may decrease in the future if these companies do things to tick off the operators of those sites. The number of web sites that allow Brave will increase as Brave’s search engine gets more popular because users will demand it. Microsoft’s history hasn’t exactly been spotless either and I suspect many users (especially Duck Duck Go users) would prefer a privacy-focused search engine that doesn’t support them. It also has a few decent security features, including the ability to secure unsafe websites with HTTPS. Its open-source nature further allays any concerns about data logging and sharing what may be going on. But there’s no guarantee about this either. In terms of security and privacy, Brave automatically has an adblocker installed. Right now, people seem to be moving to Bing (and Duck Duck Go, which I believe uses Bing’s back-end). Lots of people are moving to alternative search engines as a result. Not just over privacy concerns but over censoring news/search results, biasing search results in favor of other Google-operated sites and other issues. Google is very high profile in the news and they have been offiending quite a lot of people. There is absolutely no guarantee it will be this way in the future.
