I just updated my Brave browser on mobile, and it now replaces Google Search with Brave Search by default. Initially, I wanted to switch it back to Google Search, but finding the relevant setting was such a hassle that I was too lazy to bother. So, I just kept using Brave Search for my daily tasks. Surprisingly, the search results aren't that bad. At this point, I might have permanently switched from Google Search to Brave Search.

I've been using Brave Search as the default on my personal computer, work computer and mobile for a number of years now and hardly ever need to switch to Google except for image or map searches.

It's definitely gotten better in the last year or two and the AI results at the top seem to be just as good as the Google ones for most topics.

It's also easy enough to switch a search to another provider using "!". Just add "!g" to a search and it will go to google, "!gi" will search google images, there are a TON of those bang commands too.

Brave Search is very good. I've been using it exclusively for the past couple years. The little AI answers are pretty good too. Every time I try falling back to Google the results aren't any better.
