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!

Oh man sorry to hear your place got flooded. That sucks, but good on you for not stop trying. Man also, you can't just do a passwordless login when dealing with the internet. :D And the story with misconfiguring the port is exactly one of the things I'm scared.

NextCloud is also on my todo list,... but I'm too lazy.

    Thanks but this girl has nice new flooring and a new hobby/way of life! I would disagree with you on passwordless log in, do it where ever you can but use ssh-keys and change ports away from 22.

    I really do not like using ports in the 8080 range either but I think that is because of my 22 issue.
