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!

So what the alternative ? Especially for phone i think there are no browser that block ads & tracker. Also you can't use extensions

Ironfox as mentioned and also Titanium browser which is built from Vanadium browser if you aren't on GrapheneOS. Both block ads and allow extensions, especially the ublock origin extension.
