Brave Search now lets users ‘Rerank’ results from favorite sites
Brave Search has introduced a new feature called Rerank, which allows users to define search results ordering preferences and set specific sites rank higher. Brave Search is a privacy-focused search tool created by Brave Software, which uses its own web index to generate search results. It is marketed as a privacy-first alternative to Google or Bing search engines, which make extensive use of trackers and create detailed user profiles to generate targeted results. According to the latest stats, Brave Search now has over 75 million users and handles 1.2 billion queries every month. Today, Brave Search announced Rerank, a new feature that gives users the ability to boost or downgrade domains from their search results. The feature is accessible via a new panel on the right side of the search results page, which displays a summary of the results for the given search term. Users may click on the thumbs up or thumbs down button under each domain to up-rank or down-rank the result in future searches. Rerank options (right) Source: Brave This way, users can prioritize in the search results the sites they trust more and send to the bottom of the list, or even eliminate entirely, those that don’t meet their quality. “Rerank enables users to easily adjust search results according to their preferences, explicitly, while being in full control,” said Arjaldo Karaj, VP of Brave Search. “No opaque personalization is done by unknown algorithms, as Rerank puts users in charge of their search experience.” Rerank giving an overview of how its settings impacted a search result Source: Brave However users choose to leverage Rerank, the adjustments will be limited to their account alone. This way, every user on the network or computer can benefit from personalized results linked to their account. Also, Brave will not collect Rerank data to adjust the search results. Brave Search will continue to operate without change. Brave clarified that Rerank settings are stored locally and passed to the search tool via a cookie, which is not used for tracking. Users can clear their preferences and get Brave Search back to its default state at any time. Rerank is based on Goggles, a feature introduced in 2022, allowing users to set their own rules and filters to override Brave Search’s default algorithms for generating search results. The new feature is not intended to replace Goggles but rather allow users to adjust search results quicker and easier.

What Are Your Thoughts on Paid to Post Forums
I also see a trend of most of them starting to sell out and the owners leaving the niche all together.

Do you allow links inside posts in your forum?
I allow my members to share links in post, but I don’t allow spammers to do so. Especially members that are sharing content from other sites.

The dr doesn’t really matter as it’s not a metric that Google takes in count with its rankings. It’s a metric that Ahrefs developed and doesn’t have an effect on the core rankings.🤔 Domain Rating (DR) is a proprietary SEO metric by Ahrefs. It represents the strength of the website’s backlink profile on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 100, with the latter being the strongest. Domain Rating is widely used in the SEO community to evaluate link-building opportunities and estimate the website’s authority gained via backlinks. These are the systems that Google uses for their rankings: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/appearance/ranking-systems-guide

Reddit sports communities are considering bans on X posts
I agree. This movement is something that Twitter will actually feel in the long term as Reddit is actually bigger than them in terms of traffic and user base now, so they can put a huge dent in their traffic. Reddit’s team won’t interfere with their moderators decision either, so this will continue with their support. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/01/reddit-wont-interfere-with-users-revolting-against-x-with-subreddit-bans/

The building process, especially when you own one. It’s like growing a garden and watching the flowers grow & bloom. It’s such an amazing feeling. I also enjoy networking and meeting people more so on forums than social media.- Server hardening: what steps do you take to harden your server?
Server hardening is one of the most crucial steps to ensure security, but everyone has their own unique approach. I’d love to know what strategies and tools you rely on to keep your servers hardened and secured! What’s your go-to checklist for server setup? Are there advanced tools or practices you swear by for monitoring and intrusion prevention? How do you balance usability and security? Whether it’s innovative firewall rules, custom monitoring solutions, or hidden gems in server configuration, let’s exchange knowledge and strengthen our security strategies. Have you come across any overlooked vulnerabilities recently, and how did you address them?- Reddit sports communities are considering bans on X posts
A number of prominent sports communities on Reddit are considering a change that would considerably shakeup the content seen by their subscribers. In a movement that seemingly gained steam on the r/hockey subredditbefore spreading to the Reddit communities of other major sports leagues, Reddit users and subreddit moderators are considering banning posts that originate from the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). Posts about the topic on the NFL, NBA, MLB, and MLS subreddits have garnered widespread attention within those communities. The issue for most users seems to be around the login requirement that X has recently implemented. Now, when a Reddit user clicks on a post that links to X, that user is required to be logged in to an X account or they cannot view the linked content. For a platform like Reddit where much of its value is in aggregating content from across numerous online platforms, that can cause headaches for users who simply want to view the content and move on. Some Reddit users are suggesting that subreddits require embedded videos or screenshots of X posts rather than a direct link to the posts in question because of the new login requirements. Should these rules be implemented, major sports subreddits would look a lot different. Currently, four of the top five posts of the day on r/NBA are links to X. Similarly, most sports subreddits are littered with X links on their front pages. A ban on X would also have widespread implications on reporters, team accounts, and websites that rely on traffic generated via these Reddit communities as part of their audience. Reddit communities often serve as a megaphone for reporting or stories that are first posted on X. Oftentimes, these X posts include direct links to someone’s work, meaning a viral Reddit thread can directly impact someone’s bottom line. As of now, the X alternative Bluesky does not require a login for users to view content, sparking some Reddit users to suggest posting links from there instead. If these bans are implemented, it’d be one of the most significant signs yet that users are growing frustrated with ongoing changes to X that diminish what was once a user-friendly experience.

Their content is now visible on the Fediverse and according to a Reddit user(Die4ever), it’ll more than likely boast the activity for everyone involved. https://www.reddit.com/r/RedditAlternatives/s/8FeoyLbhRS It’s also a big win for forums according to another Reddit user. “A lot of people are talking about the lack of niche communities on Lemmy/MBin/Piefed, this will allow people from there to directly interact with forums that will enable the federation, I think this is a win-win for both these forums, as they get more reach, and for the Fediverse, as it gets more content”- JavaScript now mandatory for Google Search, Google confirms
Google recently confirmed that JavaScript is now required for users to submit queries to its web search service. According to a company spokesperson, the new requirement will improve the overall security of Google Search against potentially malicious activities, including bots, spam, and attempts to exploit SEO algorithms. Despite being one of the most universal programming languages currently in use for web-based applications, JavaScript remains shunned by a tiny minority of netizens. But Google is now forcing this increasingly sparse group of users to use the ECMAScript-compliant language for searching the internet. JavaScript's origins date back to the foundational years of the modern web, when netscape cooperated with Sun Microsystems to add a proper programming language to its Navigator web browser. The "JavaScript" trademark is currently part of a legal quarrel between Oracle and the JS community, but the language is essential for modern, interactive websites and browsers to work the way they do. According to Google, the user experience should improve with this change and Search will barely work without enabling JavaScript first. Bots, spam, and other forms of algorithmic abuse are constantly evolving, the tech giant says, which is why Search needs the full power of the JavaScript language to better protect and serve users. Some users still avoid using JavaScript for privacy-related reasons, or to improve security online in extremely sensitive environments. JavaScript can definitely increase the attack surface for cybercriminals and adversarial countries, with major browser developers fixing high-severity or critical security vulnerabilities every month. Google says that the number of average search queries currently served without JavaScript is fewer than 0.1 percent. Google Search processes around 8.5 billion queries every single day, so this tiny minority still amounts to millions of users looking for information online without enabling JS first. Aside from being a potential security issue for a non-trivial number of users, the new JavaScript requirement could also have detrimental effects on third-party tools designed to check website rankings on Google Search. A recent report by Search Engine Roundtable stated that some of these tools stopped working after Google decided to enforce the use of JavaScript. The company declined to comment on this report, though a less SEO-oriented search service could be considered a highly desired improvement for those surfing the web.
