Brave Search and Startpage is what I am using most of the time.

I use Google when I'm under my VPN. If not I use Duckduckgoo. Google do have the best search, but they harvest so much data from one, so the best would be to stay away. I have tried it so many times, you seach after something, and suddenly all the ads you see is about those thing! Ew.

What ads? Don’t you have an adblocker?

Yep. But I have an Google app on my phone, and there it's totally bad. The reason I almost never use it. It's just it has some pretty good stories sometimes.

I tried it on Brave Search with a couple of sentences, and it works, but the number of results not as much as Google Search, but Brave has its own feature to filter out certain topics called Goggles:

Brave’s search engine lets you customize your results
The Goggles feature remixes Brave’s search ranking system.

Ads are an unfortunate necessity on the internet---they're how sites like this one are able to operate.

DuckDuckGo is my go-to. I casually use Brave Search and I actually like their AI, Leo.

I'm finding myself using Leo more and more, that I even enabled the Sidebar for quicker access.

I started with DuckDuckGo years ago for privacy purpose, but find Brave Search results more relevant, and Leo is my go-to for Al.
Just changed from TEMPEST to DDG
A few times I encountered TEMPEST search not working be it on android or Windows. Yesterday was my last straw so I converted to DDG

I've used DDG for some time now, as I believe the most popular search is run totally by the devil himself 
In my humble opinion DDG need to kill off the duck cartoon which makes it look less than professional (no offence to duck lovers) When I had Brave on I did use their search but at that time they wanted money & went off Brave anyway)

Although I use DDG, I still think Google is the best. When using a VPN, Google's "Captcha" can be frustrating.

I want to ditch google completely, but when I can't find what I'm looking for on Brave Search or DDG, I find it in google, I can't deny it is the best.

They need to kill off the name too.

It took a long time for me to try DDG because of the name and the logo, I thought it was a joke.

I'm not paying $$$ for a search engine. They can have the data.
