Although I hate the Brave browser, the search engine is the most useful of the others. It gives me the most correct results compared to the others, even it sometimes ignores the quality resources.
I wonder your opinion about the search engine. Do you have any negative ones?
The AI (Leo) always gives me what I’m looking for, no matter how obscure my inquiries get, and handles all of my programming questions exceptionally well. I still have to go to Google when searching for images, but I believe in Brave and our searches will help to build it. Plus, it has an onion site, for secure searches while using the Tor Browser. In general I love Brave’s support for Tor. If you’d like me to link the onion site, let me know.
For images I use Startpage, sane result as with Google, but without it’s tracking and logging. For al other the best results give me Andisearch, which is apart one of the most private search out there.
I am a fan of Startpage as well! They also have an onion site. Anytime I see that, it is a green flag to me considering there’s an inherent favoring for anonymity. With that, I know your recommendations are reliable and I’ll put Andi to the test. Everybody says they have the best AI, so the only way to find out is with testing. I do need to stop using Google…
I use Andi since almost 2 years now as main search, it was the first AI search ever, long before all other introduce it. It’s from a small Startup of 2 Devs, which also hate Google and the surveillance crap used by it and other Big Brother companies. Centering the LLM less in the capability to be a Chatbot like others, but be able for a good summarize and explain the articles from reliable sources. It don’t invent nothing when it don’t find the answer, in this case it offers a traditional websearch.
Kagi user here. This search engine is miles in front of all the other ones I’ve tried. Even has a toggle for searching for stuff within the fediverse!
Maybe I should let it go, it’s been years.
How about that the CEO has shitty views and got ousted for it from Moz? Is that forgivable?
Or that it’s yet another Chromium based browser?

Alright, do we boycott javascript or is that too much effort?
It’s fine. Not a fan of the AI garbage generator at the top. For obscure queries Big G still returns the best results and this will not change any time soon.
Something else that won’t change: If you’re not paying for a service, then that service will be trying to monetize you in some other way and will therefore have an incentive to spy on you.
My negative picks are:
- By default it enables sending usage metrics and local search results which they claim to be anonymous.
- Also unlike other search engines it doesn’t have parameters for search query which can be used set your preferences, thus avoiding hustle to configure settings everytime.(in cases like delete cookies when browser closed and incognito mode).
