The options are part of an experimental ‘Goggles’ search filtering feature that can re-rank your results by using filters sourced from the community.
The search engine for the Brave browser can now filter your search results based on your political leanings. On Wednesday, the company Brave Software introduced a beta feature called “Goggles,” which offers customized search filters to re-rank your search results.
“This means that, instead of a single ranking, Brave Search can offer an almost limitless number of ranking options, enabling search use-cases that could be too specific for a general purpose search engine,” the company wrote in a blog post. The feature appears as a tab on the search results. Brave Software is hoping users will create and share their own custom filters for the feature. But at launch, Goggles already comes with two preset filters, which have been designed to re-rank the search results to favor left-leaning sources or right-leaning sources. The so-called “left-leaning” and “right-leaning” filters were developed by the team at AllSides, a site that delivers news from a range of media sources.
