_If Brave (and esp. search) is just a copy of Google then it will not be of much use because it will only be vying for the same audience. Millions of us are anti-Big; I for one work to not use anything from any Big Tech entity. Just for one example: I’d like a search engine that I can tailor to my world; no Social Media results (esp. Meta Corp. crap; Truth (free) social; etc.),and not just an extension like uBlacklist, which only works on Google anyway. But a browser/search with customization options that would literally reshape our WWW experiences. Imagine; the Web minus X! Glorious!_

Brave Search has feature called “Rerank” (accessible next to the settings cog icon) which you can use to discard some domains from future search results (like X if you so wish).

Thanks for the share. That way requires a user to have all those sites open first, to then basically down-vote them one at a time, and then, they get wiped along with their cookies. With uBlock Origin (on FF), I have them listed in My Filters; that’s a permanent setting, however, it only blocks them from opening should I accidentally click on any of them. It does not control search results. But that was the general idea; a way to use Brave (or SP or DDG ?) to reshape the web search experience in a more permanent way. So there’s a request to those who code Brave Search & Browser as a new integrated feature!

@PAA Brave Search has kind of already done this by way of [Brave Search “Goggles”](https://support.brave.app/hc/en-us/articles/6959189556237-How-do-I-use-Goggles). Note that this _only_ applies to Brave Search results, but it does allow you to cater the Search results you view to your own bias/preference and exclude others.

For example, you stated above that you do not want to see social media sites in your search results. For this, you can open `Goggles`, then search for and enable any (or all) of the `Anti social media` Goggles:
