The Brave web browser will default to Brave Search and abandon the less privacy orientated Google search.
Brave CEO and co-founder Brendan Eich said that the home grown search engine had grown significantly since its release last June, with nearly 80 million queries per month.
"Our users are pleased with the comprehensive privacy solution that Brave Search provides against Big Tech by being integrated into our browser. As we know from experience in many browsers, the default setting is crucial for adoption, and Brave Search has reached the quality and critical mass needed to become our default search option, and to offer our users a seamless privacy-by-default online experience."
Brave Search is built on top of an independent index, and doesn't track users, their searches, or their clicks, the firm says.
Starting with Brave 1.3 on desktop and Android, and Brave 1.32 on iOS, it will be the default search engine in the browser, instead of Google, in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
