Brave VS DuckDuckGo : Most Privacy Focused Search Ingine

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

    • Just use all of them.

      so what you're saying is use SearXNG

      • @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.

          • @eya exactly but they werent always like that.

            Google's like Microsoft now. The very company they destroyed both in so many key markets. They were innovative.

            Its the 97% search share and 70% Browser share thats the problem.

            How Google, an AI company for over a decade, got so shock by newcomer OpenAI? Out of box thinking. What google itself used to be about

            Thats what we need. Competition. Not anti trust trials or regulations. But prodcuts like chatgpt & Brave to make big companies innovate

    • Actually, You are right. I am gonna do like you said. Cheers.
