Ever since its launch back in 2016, the Brave browser has grown to be the go-to choice for internet surfers. This privacy-oriented browser is now home to over 50.2 million monthly users around the globe. Brave is now proud to announce its new media search feature that keeps users away from Google and Bing search engines.
The announcement of this new feature was given in a recent press release. For a while now, Brave has not been able to offer media results like pictures and videos for users. This is because the privacy-focused browser has long relied on either Google or Bing for media results.
By doing this, Brave exposes its user to privacy risks that it claims to protect them from. But all of that is changing as the browser is getting a new in-house media search feature. With this, users will be able to search for media-related issues and get results without relying on other browsers.
The new media search result feature on the Brave browser is here to improve privacy
At the heart of Brave’s services is privacy, and that’s one of the things users find attractive about the browser. The company refers to itself as the best privacy online. It also promises users better protection while browsing, outperforming what Google and Bing offer.
Brave helps to block web trackers and ads while users surf from one website to the other. To further solidify its privacy-oriented features, the browser is getting a new media (image and video) search feature. This new feature keeps all media searches within the Bing ecosystem and keeps users away from other browsers.
Previously, users of the Brave browser had to rely on API calls to Google and Bing before they could image search results. But all of that is coming to an end as the Brave browser can now source image search results on its own. This shows that Brave is ready to stand on its own and it started this break-off from Google and Bing early this year.
Brave also claims that providing its media search results with sourcing APIs will make the browser faster. This new privacy-oriented media search feature will also improve user privacy. The browser also promises to add a ton of new features to improve the media search results it gives users. These additional features will roll out in the coming future.
