Waterfox - Add Brave Search
This tutorial will show you how to set the Brave browser as your default search engine in Waterfox, which is only slightly difficult as it is now one of the default options. This tutorial will likely be exactly the same for Firefox and other forks, but I only tested on Waterfox.
Steps
Open up the settings by going to about:preferences
in your URL bar, and then click on Search (1), before scrolling down to the bottom, and clicking Add (2)
In the dialogue box, give the search a name, such as "Brave", and enter the following text for the Engine URL:
https://search.brave.com/search?q=%s&source=web
Then scroll up and make sure to set Brave as the search engine as your default.
