Brave Search replaces Google as default search engine in the Brave browser

For browser biggest UI difference is tabs - they squeeze instead of scrolling. There are no plugins that can create a proper sidebar, but out of the box you can organise them into foldable groups.

Search results are noticeably better, especially for non-english and location-specific results. What's worse is image search - unlike with text you tend to get only 2-3 good, relevant results, everything else is only somewhat related. I suggest giving it a try even if you'll decide against browser switch.

Stock Chrome has a flag that activates a combined two-tab reading list + bookmarks sidebar. Brave has the same flag, but for some reason the sidebar didn't list bookmarks the last time I tried.

There are actually flags for enabling tab scrolling if you want, and tab squeeze is also adjustable via flags.

Thanks, this really helped with a major pain point I had with tab management in Brave.
