Brave is a browser that prioritizes privacy. It has a built-in search engine, but it is also available in other browsers. Recently, Brave Search was released in a new version that lets you search as usual — or with the help of artificial intelligence.
Green search engine that plants trees
When you do an internet search, the search engine makes money from ads. Challenger Ecosia uses its revenue to plant trees. It has planted over 200 million trees in more than 30 countries. Ecosia uses Google or Microsoft Bing as its search engine, and in the settings at the top right you can choose which one.
