Brave say they have their own index actually, but also sometimes use other providers (maybe for when their own index didn't return enough results?). https://brave.com/brave-search-beta/


As far as I know Brave brought some Index startup but doesn't actually use it. Instead they use Bing while pretending to have their own index.

Generally I would avoid Brave as the company behind is is quite doggy.


Brave search results are quite different from Bing's (they are better) -- where are you getting your info?


Ironically, Brave bough a German search engine...
