The Hubert Burda Media team built Tailcat as well as Cliqz privacy search and browser.
Paul-Bernhard Kallen, Hubert Burda Media CEO, said,
Kallen also added that his team will continue working on the project.
Of note, Brave emphasized that unlike Google, Brave will not collect user IP addresses or use user personal data to personalize search results. Meanwhile, Brave will build its search engine around Tailcat’s independent index of websites.
Further, Brave claims that Big Tech built all current search engines. However, Brave search will offer a more private option in line with the company’s vision. Brave aims to “fix the internet by giving users a safer, faster, and better browsing experience.”
The need for greater online privacy has risen over the last few years. As a result, Brave search reported over 25 million users in 2020. Brave CEO Brendan Eich believes that demand for Brave products will rise as more users seek real privacy solutions to escape Big Tech’s invasive practices.
In addition, Brave search will be ad-free, but Brave will reward users with its BAT (LON:BATS) tokens for opting into ads. An incentive Brave believes will benefit both creators and users.
Brave built its software on blockchain and has multiple current projects including a plan to launch its own Decentralized Exchange as part of its BAT Roadmap.
