Brave browser uses Duck Duck as a search engine. Brave conversion is REALLY easy - it automatically copies all bookmarks and automatically stops advertising. And is a poke in the Google Eye! 74 million pokes would be awesome!
It's just as good. I use Google/Chrome at work and have used DDG/Brave at home for a couple years now. The only difference is the palpable feeling of being manipulated when viewing certain google search results.
I donтАЩt find DDG returns as good results. That said, IтАЩve been finding Google results becoming harder and harder to find useful information. Unless you have a very specific time period to limit results, the overwhelming return of recent (and repetitive) results is getting crushing.
Brave works on Mac, Windows, Android, etc. I've been using it exclusively for a year and a half. Performance equal to or better than anything I used previously. Ads blocked. Privacy protected. Recommended without reservation.
I suppose I was thinking that frustrated people might be looking for something tangible to do in response to Google's oppressive censorship. Journalists keep complaining about Google as though there is nothing that can be done. If 70 million people switched it would make a difference. When you and I do it....nada
I've heard Brave recommended by people I trust. It's not what I personally use (because I'm a user with extremely specific needs and the knowledge to do my own customization), but everything I've read about it is good, and it's certainly going to spy on you less than Chrome. It's based on Chrome but strips out a lot of the junk and comes with things like a built in ad blocker. It's also made by the guy who used to be CEO of Mozilla, who created Firefox.
Bottom line: It's definitely not going to be worse than Chrome.
What if 74 million Americans switched from Google Chrome to Brave browser...by Monday. Would Google notice?? RT to make it happen
I still use Chrome but I search with Duck Duck Go. Is Brave better? Do they have it for Mac?

Been a DDG user for years but didn't know Brave. So thanks: I'll check that out. How's the speed, generally? Any complaints vs. Chrome?

Which influencers can make this Chrome boycott happen?? Or are they all talk and no action?

i'm under the impression they, like the long term "protestors" get paid.
