What's new

10 Nov 2026

Google Maps, YouTube, Baidu and Brave go live; new Google engines

enginesplatform
  • Residential proxies are live: Google Maps search and place details, BBB search, YouTube videos and channels, Baidu and Brave now run in production. A blocked page is retried automatically on a fresh IP before it fails, and failures are still free.
  • New: Google Maps reviews (the reviews Google shows signed-out visitors, with an honest coverage figure), Google Maps photos, and a geo-grid local rank tracker that checks up to 49 points around a location.
  • New: Google Patents search and patent details, with a free patent search tool.
  • Built and waiting on the switch-on step shown on each page: Google Finance, Google Ads Transparency, Google Hotels and Google Flights (terms review), Google Books (API key), and Google web search, Images and AI Mode (licensed results feed). Google requires JavaScript from automated visitors and we never bypass CAPTCHAs, so its web results will come from a licensed feed.
  • Paused because the site blocks every proxy with a CAPTCHA or bot wall we don't bypass: Yellow Pages, Trustpilot, Yandex and YouTube transcripts.
