    But it’s no where near the #2 spot. Brave search is incredibly niche.

      Why is Brave allowed to index reddit and other engines aren’t? Just switched to them and am not interested in reddit search results.

        OH, I misunderstood what you were saying. I thought you were saying search itself is a duopoly between Google and Brave Search.

        You’re saying searching Reddit is a duopoly between Google and Brave Search.

        That’s my bad… but yeah, the article is just wrong anyways, Kagi also has access still (presumably through their deal with Google to use Google’s search results as part of their result set). I wonder if Brave has a similar deal … or their crawlers just haven’t been blocked yet … or they paid off Reddit.
