I mean… I've been using Firefox since Google silo'd all log-ins together.

On the other hand, search.brave.com is freaking incredible. It's so much better than Google, Bing or DDG at this point, it's shocking. I switched a couple weeks ago and it's surreal to see so many usable, useful results on the first page again.

Tried it for a couple of weeks and went back to DDG. It's way better for programming and other geekie stuff imo.

You mean DDG is better for programming or Brave Search is? I'm finding a lot more useful stuff via Brave for whatever reason currently.

(I guess results may vary though if that's not the case for you!)

I meant that DDG is better for programming.

Try Startpage And you can use addons to filter out bad results, if that helps. Brave search definitely is potent.

Cool! I didn't think of that, but it would do the trick, you're right.

(I was hoping for it to be in the popup list of search engines, I guess.)
