- hunterb123 5y agoAnd then Brave bought them and it succeeded. Cliqz is now Brave Search, I use it for all my devices, it's great. Works better than DDG and sometimes better than Google. I only hash bang every 100 searches or so, most of the time Google doesn't have it either. It's just to make sure. http://search.brave.com/ http://search.brave.com/
