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.
I am so curious about LibreWolf. I am gonna try it soon on my daily laptop (Linux of course 😂).
I've been using it for a long time, I haven't run into any issues with it.
I did a quick search, but I didn't find any comparison between the two, so I just asked about it.
A lot of information came out, and I reckon this thread can help someone else down the line.
Thanks for the comment though. 🤙
DDG uses bing and they filter results based on their biased opinion. Just give me results let me care about the rest! Brave has a limited index, plus not a huge fan of their crypto scam. StartPage gets results from Google and seems better than the above two. But Google itself filters results so not great. tbh, to get unfiltered great results try Yandex, they do have good index and seem no or less filtering. It would be great if SearX would provide a wrapper around Yandex, but AFAIK Yandex blocks bots and non-human interactions and it is hard to add SearX support. Kagi - I don't want an extra subscription.
For now, I think SearX/Whooper instances are good enough
Same here, I mostly use brave search with occasional
!ecos. Although, both companies have made questionable stuff in their browsers (ddg -- not blocking m$ trackers, brave -- similar stuff with trackers, don't remember which, plus the whole affiliate link debacle).In the end, the best thing is to use Firefox with Ads / Trackers Blocker.
Brave seems alright as a search Ingine, but its CEO looks fishy so I am not sure if I am gonna keep using it.
Used Brave for a bit during August and liked it (mainly their Discussions feature) but stopped using it since I always liked Startpage. I see a few mentions of Mojeek here, so I'll give it a shot
Edit: Spelling correction (shot from shit kekw)
