Hi everyone,
I’m choosing a default search engine and I’m torn between DuckDuckGo and Brave Search. What matters most to me:
Privacy: what’s actually logged, and can the claims be trusted? Independence from Big Tech: DDG partly relies on Bing, while Brave has its own index. Result quality: relevance for daily, technical and niche queries. Trust: track record, controversies, business model.
Which one do you use daily, and why? Have you noticed a real quality difference? Thanks!
I’m not having that issue. I am pulling results from both google and wikipedia fine. But there’s also bing, mojeek, qwant, startpage, brave, and yahoo. You can have as many enabled as you want at one time too.
I treated all the providers and had issues with most of them. My guess is because I’m on a corporate network, we have only a few egress IPs and so the target servers think we’re flooding them. I’m federal government in an agency with over 70k employees
That very well could be. Maybe try it out on your own home network, if possible where its less used.
