I’m not using their browser in part because of all the problems of the past, but the search engine is actually really good. In my case it’s better than DDG and bing.
i also use brave search a lot, switched after ddg downranked russian search results and the microsoft tracking scandal. but now i am reconsidering. besides searX, what are the best privacy focused search engines atm?
I just recently tried a few different ones because I want to get away from Brave Search. But they either had poor search results or some firm of censoring/altering search results. So I would also love to know if there’s some search engine or there that can produce good results without bias i.e. actually just give me the relevant results I am searching for.
I am trialling Qwant for a few weeks now after I had to restore a backup for my phone, it’s a European privacy oriented search engine. I like it a lot so far, seems to do better than Brave for me. I do miss the option of adding “!g” at the end of a search term to fall back to Google. That is really nice in Brave Search.
I did not like Duckduckgo at all even though I tried it for a few weeks.
