+Privacy-Preserving Ads Make a Debut on Brave Search
+======
+
+Brave Search is testing privacy-preserving ads. But, the Brave browser does not seem to block them by default.
+
+![Privacy-Preserving Ads Make a Debut on Brave Search][1]
+
+Brave Search is an independent search engine that claims not to track its users and provides a safe and secure search experience.
+
+It aims to be a privacy-friendly alternative to the extensive tech services from Microsoft and Google.
+
+With a [recent announcement][2], they introduced a new feature to Brave Search. The search will now show '_privacy-preserving_' ads as part of a global beta program.
+
+What does this mean? Allow me to explain.
+
+### Privacy-Preserving Ads: Meaning?
+
+![brave search privacy preserving ads][3]
+
+Brave is planning to run ads on their search platform; they claim that these ads are anonymous, are marked, and follow its commitment of putting users first.
+
+These ads are said to be clearly labeled and are integrated into Brave Search.
+
+To display relevant advertisements, Brave Search will only use your **search query, country, and device type**. 
+
+So, in theory, this should stop them from keeping a profile of your searches.
+
+They also add that:
+
+> Brave Search ads protect users’ data and anonymity, while supporting their access to independent and transparent search as a true alternative to Big Tech search engines.
+
+This has been released as a beta test globally, where Brave Search users will be shown text-based ads in search results.
+
+Users who opted for Brave Private Ads (for _Brave Rewards_) and are using the latest version of Brave won't be shown search ads since these are not yet eligible for BAT earnings.
+
+Additionally, they offer a '**Search Premium**' subscription for an ad-free search experience, which costs **$3 per month**. 
+
+With this subscription, you get a completely ad-free search experience while also supporting Brave.
+
+### Is This a Step in the Right Direction?
+
+Even though Brave Search is based on an **open-source search project**[Tailcat][4], they have no plans to make it open-source.
+
+So, Brave Search already has a red flag 🚩 for many privacy enthusiasts who prefer open-source solutions for their transparency. 
+
+**Will privacy-preserving ads make a difference, just like Brave Search's original claims for its search engine?**
+
+Well, I certainly hope so. Why? **Because we need more competitors to Google**. And something is better than nothing.
+
+Even without open-source code, we will have to sit back and see what kind of transparency they provide in their advertisement testing soon.
+
+Though, the implementation of Brave's privacy-preserving ads has got a few users upset. 
+
+A [comment][5] made by a Reddit user on the official Subreddit of Brave Browser mentions:
+
+> Putting in an exception for your own ads is in exceptionally bad taste. All the marketing fluff around "independent, private search" is not an excuse.
+
+Brave Browser seems to be **not blocking Brave search ads** with its in-built ad-blocker (Brave Shields).
+
+On that, a member of the Brave support team clarified:
+
+> Shields at this time does not block 1st part, non tracking ads by default anyway (with the exception of setting to Aggressive, I believe) so it's actually just following the standard we've already set.
+
+So, you can block the Brave search ads with the privacy protection settings set to aggressive, I believe?
+
+However, not everyone prefers the aggressive blocker. So, let us see how things turn out for Brave search ad experimentation.
+
+💭 **Thoughts? Feel free to share them in the comments section.**
