Description
Brave Search, developed by the team behind the Brave Browser, is a search engine that prioritizes user privacy and currently operates without advertisements. In the future, it plans to introduce a model that may include ads, alongside a subscription option that remains ad-free.
Brave Search API enables developers to enhance their search and AI applications using one of the most rapidly expanding independent search engines since Bing. With just one API request, users can explore an extensive index containing billions of pages, and they can start using it for FREE, with a limit of one query per second and up to 2,000 queries each month. As one of the few global independent search providers, Brave is making significant strides, ensuring access to high-quality, practical data. Whether you're building a search engine or an AI application, the possibilities are vast. Acting as the default search engine in the Brave browser, Brave Search continually updates its database through contributions from its Web Discovery Project framework. This commitment to fresh data makes it a compelling choice for developers and users alike.
Description
Velum Privacy is designed to protect personal data before it interacts with an AI assistant, subsequently restoring the actual values in the response, all while operating solely on your machine without the need for servers, accounts, or any telemetry. The system is inherently reversible; it employs one-way redaction to secure the data, although this would typically compromise the response, yet a local mapping ensures that the returned reply remains intelligible. This solution comprises three distinct interfaces integrated into a single engine: a browser extension compatible with Chrome, Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi that offers text masking without requiring an account; a macOS desktop application that manages documents, folders, and coding tasks through MCP, with a Windows version currently under development; and an application for Jira and Confluence Cloud that operates within your own Atlassian environment. Detection is achieved through a combination of pattern recognition, checksum validation specifically for IBANs and national IDs, and a local named entity recognition model that supports nine language variations, with published accuracy metrics highlighting a remarkable 99.8% must-mask F1 score at the highest level, including failure rates. The commitment to transparency is evident, as the extension specifies zero host permissions, while the desktop application meticulously lists every outbound connection and ensures masking occurs even when the network is offline, reinforcing the integrity of the system. Such comprehensive measures ensure that users can maintain control over their sensitive information while enjoying the benefits of AI technology.
