  "account": "For years, the author stuck with Google Search as their primary search engine, despite its deteriorating experience. They found AI overviews, sponsored results, and irrelevant products to be particularly frustrating. After switching to Brave browser, they discovered Brave Search, which quickly became their preferred alternative. Brave Search offers a more accurate and ad-free search experience, even without its large backing. Users can still access widgets like currency conversions, weather, and maps, but the search results are more relevant and helpful. However, the search engine occasionally struggles with local listings and online shopping results.",
