Hello, how are you guys?

As the title says, what search Ingine are you currently using? I used DuckDuckGo for years, and just recently switched to Brave.

Also, what do you think about the Brave Browser? I have been using FireFox since forever.

Thank you for reading.

Same here, I mostly use brave search with occasional !ecos. Although, both companies have made questionable stuff in their browsers (ddg -- not blocking m$ trackers, brave -- similar stuff with trackers, don't remember which, plus the whole affiliate link debacle).

In the end, the best thing is to use Firefox with Ads / Trackers Blocker.

Brave seems alright as a search Ingine, but its CEO looks fishy so I am not sure if I am gonna keep using it.

Long time FF user, new Brave user. Turning off all the bloat in Brave makes it basically Chromium. Reason I'm switching is like FF, Brave has a self-hosted sync, however unlike Firefox, Brave has a tabbed user experience on Android tablets. If FF had that, I would not be switching.
