"Goggles are simple, self-contained text files which can be hosted in Github or Gitlab. These files contain instructions allowing you to tell Brave Search how you'd like your results to be ranked. You can target specific URL patterns (and, soon, website titles and other aspects of Web pages) and indicate how their ranking should be altered (e.g. boosted, downranked, or completely discarded from the results)." - https://github.com/brave/goggles-quickstart

Great to see a company protecting and empowering its users. I just tried it out myself. Very easy to implement (e.g., "Amazon-Excluded Search"). Thanks for sharing!


Brave is Chromium with uBlock Origin built in, replaced website ads with their own ads in an attempt to steal revenue from websites, has an unregistered security called BAT or cryptocurrency, and markets itself as a privacy browser.

In my opinion, it's a scam. I would never support something like Brave.


Brave has a bunch of ad and tracking blockers built-in, not just uBlock Origin.

Why do you call Brave a scam? Do you also classify Google Chrome a scam?
