Goggles — Art History + Primary Sources (Brave Search)

Custom Brave Search Goggles for research-heavy browsing: museums + archives + primary sources go up, and the usual search-result barnacles (Pinterest, Quora, content-farms) go down—or get tossed overboard.

This repo contains two Goggles:

• Balanced: boosts high-quality sources while still letting the broader web show up.
• Strict: “guest list” mode — defaults to discard unless a result matches your approved sources.

What are Brave Search Goggles?

A Goggle is a plain-text ruleset that changes how Brave Search ranks results. You can:

• boost sites you trust
• downrank low-quality domains
• discard sources you never want to see

Think of it as training a search engine to stop eating crayons.

Step 1 — Copy the RAW file URL

Brave needs the raw GitHub-hosted URL (not the normal GitHub file page).
