I’ve been using brave search since their early days. They used to suck, but I pushed my feelings aside and just kept trying. Now, brave out performs google on a lot of search results. Sometimes, you have to add a bit more context to your query, but it is worth staying private and not dealing with all the SEO garbage. If the results don’t fit your need, just leave feedback and it will probably be addressed soon.
You were downvoted - presumably by people that don't like some of the things Brave does but surely they don't think Google isnt far, far worse.
Personally, I use Kagi, but still.
lol. Everyone has the right to their own opinion. It is funny how search engines have become much like sports teams where people are very strong in their usage and opinions of one over the other. I will have to look into Kagi. I considered running my own searx instance on a raspberry pi, but have yet to try it out.
