DuckDuckGo vs Brave Search: which one is better for privacy, independence, and result quality? (lemmy.ml)

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!

Between the two, DDG and its not even close. I'd recommend kagi or hosting searxng if you actually want privacy band a good user experience.
