What Real Users Say About Braver Search
Authentic feedback and real-world ratings from Mac & iOS users
Works perfectly
"I’ve been using Braver Search for the past year as a web developer, and I can say that I haven’t even realized I was using an extension because it gets out of the way and just does its job perfectly. I can’t recommend this extension enough!"

Phenomenal! Powerful! Perfect!
"I wanted to keep the Safari browser because I have all my tabs and bookmarks set up the way I want and especially now with all the new features in IOS27. However, I was never completely happy with the search engines, even Duck-duck-go. Even though it was better than the others, I found it consistently not giving me results pertinent to my questions on natural health and treatments. But when I’d search the same questions with Brave Search, it gave me exactly what I was searching for. I do have Brave browser installed, but I just like Safari browser better, so the 2 paired together are very powerful. Thank you to the developer for making this extension. I paid for the lifetime one-time low payment. Totally worth it."
