Brave is the best. Brandon Eich was a victim of the nonsense we've seen since Trump/Brexit and should be supported by all free speech advocates.

It is also easily the best browser. Their search project is comparatively new and has been making great strides. It doesn't have seem to have an index close to as large as Google's but I do my 1st crack at a search there.

I switched to DuckDuckGo after the Gemini AI story and I have been very happy with it so far

I have been using Brave / DuckDuckGo for several years now. Overall I like it fine, but in my (very limited) experience I still find better results with Google in some cases; usually the topic is something obscure.

Exactly. Google's index size is hard to beat. Even Microsoft Bing, with all their resources, suffers there.

But you need to be well versed in advanced search tools to coax out the info you are looking for.
