Interested users can test out Brave Search for themselves and contribute to the Web Discovery Project by upgrading Brave Browser to the latest version or heading to in the browser (opens in new tab) of their choice. The WDP also runs automatically while a user is browsing the web so it requires no effort on the part of contributors. Brave Browser is a lightning fast, safe and private web browser that prevents you from being tracked and blocks ads by default (including YouTube ads).
In order for a URL to be sent to the project it needs to visited independently by a large number of people and this is achieved by using the STAR cryptographic protocol.
Unlike with other search providers, the WDP is designed in such a way that all of the data it receives is unlinkable which makes it impossible to build profiles (opens in new tab) or sessions of project contributors. Users will need to opt-in to the WDP and the new project protects user privacy and anonymity by design so that contributed data cannot be linked to them or their devices as well as to a set of users to prevent deanonymization.Īt the same time, the WDP represents a fundamental shift in how a search index is built to serve relevant results to Brave Search users.
