I think as the community grows, more search engines will start including us!

    While I agree, but i tried Brave Search for a few weeks, and it seemed pretty good.

    I wouldnt use Brave Browser, because Vivaldi is there (if you need Chromium.) But for a search engine which is free? DuckDuckGo maybe?

    P.S. Kagi search is pretty good if you are willing to pay.

      DDG is so bad in results though it makes not using a search engine seem like a solid alternative. I remember that research from a few months ago where they compared Google, Bing and DDG to do statistical analysis of if and how much Google’s search results have been getting worse in recent years.

      Result:

      • Google did get worse.
      • However, Bing and DDG got worser, faster.

      The real conclusion was that SEO spam has found ways to optimize that is no longer easy to exclude for search providers. Hence all search is getting shit pretty quickly.

      A lot of people are complaining about Kagi using Brave as a backend but the alternatives aren’t much better. Both Google and Microsoft are BDS for example.
