This [PDF white paper describes the Brave Search Team’s plans](https://brave.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/goggles.pdf) — [[Goggles]]: > This paper proposes an open and collaborative system by which a community, or a single user, can create sets of rules and filters, called Goggles, to define the space which a search engine can pull results from. Instead of a single ranking algorithm, we could have as many as needed, overcoming the biases that a single actor (the search engine) embeds into the results. via [Daring Fireball](https://daringfireball.net/linked/2021/03/04/brave-search)
