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!
But what back ends are usable for searxng? I tested a bunch with a local searxng for my harness and the choices were ddg, Google and wikipedia. Ddg and Google have very limited api limits and I start getting 429 quickly
