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!

What are typical server requirements for search ng? Especially storage wise?

    You don't need much at all if you're asking hardware-wise. Depends on what you want to host but I run jellyfin, searxng, slskd and many other containers on a small Intel CPU and 16 GB of ram. I run all of my containers in docker-compose and have no issues. Storage wise, all of my containers run from a 1 tb ssd, the containers themselves only store your config files, etc so you don't need much storage for that. If you wanted to run like Jellyfin for media then you would probably want more storage.
