It is up to us to bring ALS out of the shadows and teach others that taking action for cures can be as simple as telling a neighbor that ALS is deadly and impacts every community. In order to make real, expeditious progress we must change that. Few know what it is and that it can affect anyone, anywhere, at any age. Each of us can speed up our timeline toward cures. Engagementįaster progress toward cures and better health advocacy require building a community in which everyone is empowered and has an integral role in leading the movement. ResourcesĪt I AM ALS, we built a single entry point to help connect patients and their loved ones to existing resources while delivering critical new tools to ensure care and support is there for every step on the ALS journey. Hope transformed into a movement by the dozens of partners, old and new, who share our unceasing drive to make change real for those living with ALS. Our story is hope borne from recent scientific developments. Together, you and me, we are going to cure ALS.

You can access Brave Search from the Brave browser and make it your default search engine, even in other browsers.

Basically, they say that all these features and decisions aims to put the user first, above the advertising and data industries. There’s also seamless integration between the Brave browser and the Brave Search engine. They will also eventually use community-curated open ranking models so that your results will be free from algorithmic biases and censorship and will give you diverse results when you use the search engine.īrave Search will also soon be available for other search engines that would want to use its privacy-focused engine. Users can choose between ad-free paid search and ad-supported search. They will also have some upcoming features probably when it gets out of beta or at least in its latter stages. Brave’s acquisition of open search engine Tailcat earlier this year serves as the foundation for their own. Brave says they have their own search index that can answer queries privately so they don’t need to use third-party providers.

It won’t track user data even during search queries and it won’t profile its users for advertisers as well. The main selling point of Brave Search is that its priority is the privacy of its users.
