So eh, Brave's search is actually running through Amazon CloudFront load balancers. This wasn't quite my first idea of privacy. At the very least, it means searches are likely being logged at least once, and stored using some policies set by Amazon, not Brave

Some pretty curious internal API here: https://search.brave.com/api/state/independence , found in the copious amounts of duplicate JS on the page
