Hello, how are you guys?

As the title says, what search Ingine are you currently using? I used DuckDuckGo for years, and just recently switched to Brave.

Also, what do you think about the Brave Browser? I have been using FireFox since forever.

Thank you for reading.

@Sterben tho this post might not be doing so but still dont get why people like to compare and pick only 1 search engine to use forever

Just use all of them. Try all. Everyone has unique needs

Each company has differences in indexing. Tho the duck is Bing based, it chose to block “russian propaganda”. For something as vast as the net, using 1 engine is like using only 1 eye to see the world

For a truly open perspective, use multiple! Only for convenience’s of daily searches, maybe pick one

@eya Kind of. But all engines have their own unique features too

Google/Startpage has quick snippets

Brave has Toggles. Duckduckgo has bangs

Baidu/Yandex/Naver has immense localisation

Bing has OpenAI

Under competition, companies will innovate. Thats what this is. Forcing Google to innovate

For that we’ve to support them all. meta engines are good for what they are. But it cant have those extra features. Search isnt only about the results. Like how YouTube isnt *just* about the video

Google doesn’t need to innovate when they have almost a 65% market share. They could implement malware into the browser and people would still use it.
