What it does
Swisscows offers family-filtered web search and a paid Pro version. Its current FAQ distinguishes an advertising-supported free service from Pro’s stated no-sharing model.
Swisscows filters violent and pornographic material, making its content policy a practical reason to choose or avoid it. The current FAQ identifies Brave as its search-results partner.
The FAQ also distinguishes free search from Pro. It says free-service advertising through System1 involves some usage-data processing, while Pro is offered without that sharing. Compare the mode you intend to use: the same brand covers two different advertising arrangements.
