   Brave Search is way better than other search engines.

   In contrast to other "private" search engines (except for Presearch and SearX), it doesn't have trackers, or not nearly as many. This information can be verified by installing uBlock Origin and ClearURLs, which detect 0 and 2 trackers respectively, against for example DuckDuckGo's nearly 10 and 19. Other alternatives are SearX (No trackers AT ALL, still kinda user-friendly) and Presearch (A bit easier to use but a tiny bit worse for privacy, it has 1 more tracking element).

   🏁 Competitors: DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, StartPage, Presearch, Searx, Google, Bing, Yahoo, Ecosia, Ask.com, Qwant

   👍 Pros:    Good search results|Not too many trackers|Not buggy|Easy to use

   👎 Cons:    Has 2 tracking url elements

   Google chrome, firefox, edge, ie, opera, are now tracking you.

   ddg is my favorite search engine and it has great restutes. It has a built in video player too! The only problem is that i have to use google in a blue moon to get the results it need. Duckside! Brave! Lunix!

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  I was talking about Brave Search (https://search.brave.com), not Brave browser. Seaech doesn't promote crypto. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave rolled their own completely independent search [1] on what I assume is a relatively limited budget. It seems that regularly grabbing the data would be pretty easy. The harder part would be searching/ordering it in an efficient and meaningful way while avoiding SEO, but that seems more like a fun problem than a difficult one (if not both).

• Microsoft outage affects Bing, Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT internet search

  Brave Search [1] is 100% independent. There's also Yandex [2] which also works excellently, but is biased towards more Russian language results. The image search is second to none though. [1] - https://search.brave.com/ [2] - https://yandex.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

  Nice to see https://search.brave.com/, https://entireweb.com and https://mojeek.com are still kicking it. In case anyone needs to know alternatives besides the monopoly that is Google. - Source: Hacker News / 10 days ago

  If you're using the DDG Web site, and a bookmark, can you force the language in the bookmark? Example: https://duckduckgo.com/?kl=us-en&kad=en_US. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

  Lol I was not being on topic or constructive - just repeating the meme that rust is synonymous with "blazing fast", because of endless statements to the effect of "rust is blazing fast," or "if you want blazing fast code, use rust," or the endless blazing fast rust libraries: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=blazing+fast+rust Now I'm not an expert in either rust or go. But I know my deductive meme logic, and if Uber's... - Source: Hacker News / 13 days ago
