Google recently changed its search results so they route through "GOTO" URLs to stop scrapers. This created a bot problem for Brave Search and its users. Let's talk about what happened, and how we solved it in a user-first way. 🧵

3) Redirects could be abused as a vector for phishing attacks. We have taken countermeasures where possible, including the ability to repudiate a redirect, a time-to-live count, and the use of an interstitial page to alert the user.

Our intent with introducing /go/ links was to reduce unwanted bot traffic that was worsening the search experience for real users. We're proud to have accomplished this in a way that still preserves the privacy and convenience of our search engine. brave.com/blog/google-goto-a…

Today’s browser update (v1.99.56) contains a fix for a Chromium vulnerability found to be exploited in the wild. You may have received the automatic Brave update already. If not, you can manually update by visiting ‘About Brave’ from the browser’s ☰ menu. The Android update is waiting on Google Play Store review and should be out shortly.

There's a new way to open a split view! Drag and drop a tab to the left or right edge of the window and you'll be prompted to add it to a split view.

Other ways to create a split view: - Right-click one or two tabs and select "Add tab to new split view." - Right-click a link and choose "Open link in split view." You can click and drag the line in the middle to adjust the size of the tabs.

Google says that schools that disable AI can’t use their search engine. Sounds like a plan! Use Brave Search instead.
The image is a three-panel meme with two individuals talking in a cafe. The first panel has the word "Schools" above the person on the left, who says, "I'm not going to use Google's AI." In the second panel, the person on the right replies, "But if you don't use Google's AI, you can't use their search engine." In the third panel, the person on the left responds, "I already said I don’t want to use Google's AI, Harry, you don’t have to sell it to me.

A new change in Brave for iOS you may have missed: When you're using Ask Brave or Leo, you can now long-press on embedded links or videos in the answers to preview them. 🔎 You can then tap this quickview window to see it in a full tab.
