Good, that's how a browser tells on you with user analytics. Even if you have searx or other private search engine hooked in, your browser will sell your metadata / analytics etc. I know you know that, though, but most don't.

Well I plumb it in to my searx instance. So strictly yes, but not globohomo search.

And, oh my goodness, does Google rot ass these days. My results suck but if I go to the goog they still suck.

Google is terrible but you can still trick it into being useful. All search engines have been seriously nerfed since the early 2000s. You used to be able to go hundreds of pages deep w/ unique url results in google search. Now you generally get about 20 pages w/ repeated results. I miss the weird esoteric unrelated shit you'd find on page 100 only related to your initial search in the most insane of ways.

OFC. Do you ask jeeves to take you to google? But yeah man, brave browser, it's the tits

(((brave)))

uses the address bar for search

You are the worst type of nigger on Earth. You're why the sub-80 IQ millenials at firefox etc made their kiked omnibar and the browser doesn't recognize .lan as a TLD. vault.lan searches for "vault.lan" instead of directing to my NGINX and getting routed to my vaultwarden LXC.

Whatever, there's a workaround, though that browsers don't recognize private DLS (.lan, .local, .home) is jewish.

'omnibar'

No sir, the url bar is entirely the brave search engine. It offers links to search other search engines w/ in it's results. My home button takes me to google. I'm sure you're horrified but even in 2025 google dorking is an effective research technique.

Various other tools call on the db these days. I did pentesting for a few years during the backtrack 2 and backtrack 3 days before the release renamed to kali.

What I've particularly found interesting lately is using the google hacking database vulnerabilities in various ai models and the interesting things they find. If you were to take a kali certification course you'd find it's all just scripting the tools to work together in order to generate pdf reports of vulnerabilities. There's no clever moment of furious typing saving the world. It's just a bored dude sitting on his ass comparing your companies site to various databases of known exploits and generating reports.

Anyways many of the exploits identified over the years still work. Through google I found the unsecure security cameras of my grocery store down the street. It's nice to be able to see if there's a line for sub sandwiches before you go out the door.

I know, I have the camera in your bedroom. I saw you watching your grocery store security cameras. Real weird.
