Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Open source and easy to customize and use. Really fast search Secure and has a lots of customizable options.
  • Anonymous, privacy centered search, not unlike DuckDuckGo. Built by the team that made the brave browser, which makes sense - that's a privacy centered browser! UI is well made.

Cons

  • No cons Brave search works great and search really well.
  • It's not as well known and is in beta stage so it just needs time to improve. It uses (anonymous) Google searches as a fallback when it doesn't yield good search results itself (if you enable that setting).

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Provides answers with citations, along with source links. Acknowledges when there are disagreeing perspectives and cites both sides.
  • Web search better than Google. Copilot help with searches. Usage of multiple models like GPT4. CLAUDE. GEMINI (GOOGLE)... Easy to organize your searches. Image generation integrated. Video search integrated. Academic search integrated. Youtube only search integrated. Reddit only search integrated.
  • Really good for getting any kind of information summarized or in any other text format, with all sources for you to check if you question the answers. Better for personal use then ChatGPT.

Cons

  • Prone to factual errors. I have found this on numerous occasions by following up on the citations provided. An example: What were Dodi Fayed’s injuries? Answer says that he had a rarely-seen tear in a pulmonary vein. Checking the source cited, it is stated clearly that this was the injury sustained by Princess Diana, NOT her companion. A simple, obvious factual error like this makes me unwilling to rely on Perplexity yet.
  • Probably uses your data on searches for their training. Problems with the usage between online search and just talking with a specific LLM on a single thread (search). They probably don't care about old users as of now, basically cuz they been giving away free PP pro these lasts months.
  • It seems to learn what language I most often use. I would rather it gave me answers in the language as ask the question so I do not need to specify all other languages then my first.
