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 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
