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!

I saw that that sshole issue was really only an issue for people running older out of date systems, is that true?

I know I have a long road to travel learning the router, networking, security stuff but it is a road I will travel as I find time.

    I do not entirely understand how the sshole works either, but yes I believe it does have something to do with some old thing where the attacker would just have to put in some stupid long password and some ssh protocol would let it in. Most of my homelab uses openssh, I do not believe this had that issue I have keys with password auth turned off so you need my keys to get in, OpenWRT uses DropBear and that did not have the issue.

    From what I understand the sshole was a big nothing burger.
