Can you use the brave search engine from other browsers? (Is it a proxy for any other search engine?)
I'm expecting a negative, but a fella can dream.
Full disclosure: currently using StartPage and reasonably happy. StartPage is a proxy for Google as far as I can tell, although I've seen people say (on Reddit) it refers to Bing too.
No, it is not a proxy for another search index/engine.
Yes, you can add Brave search to your other browsers.
You can. For instance, look up the Brave Search extension on Firefox. Or you can just set the brave.search link to your home page button on any browser.
Oh thank-you. As you have guessed, I haven't done even basic investigation.
I'll try to add it on as a search engine on Firefox to play with.
Thank-you again kind netizen.
