Riding the wave of big tech suspicion

Brave Software, maker of the Brave web browser, has tuned its search engine away from Bing to capitalise on the anti-big tech market.

The company said that image and video results from Brave Search -- available on the web at search.brave.com and via its browser -- will be served from Brave's own index. Search indexes are made by visiting online resources -- typically web pages, images, videos, or other files -- with a crawler bot and recording the locations of these resources in a database. And when an internet user submits a query to a search engine, the search engine checks its index (and possible other sources) to find the addresses of resources that correspond to the query keywords.
