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.

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:

The Goggles feature remixes Brave’s search ranking system.

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.

I've used DDG for some time now, as I believe the most popular search is run totally by the devil himself :devilish: 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)
