I am sure there is a good reason for this. I am looking for alternatives to google, and these to be the ones that pop-up most often.

RESOLVED: I used up my 100 searches in kagi pretty quickly, and the experience was really nice. I am quite anti-subscription, so I won't continue using it. I eliminated brave from my search due to the crypto stuff and whatnot. I am now using mojeek, which gave me better results over DDG when searching for niche stuff. Also I like mojeeks interface a lot more.

No, and you can turn them off in settings. I use brave browser. No one is perfect, you gotta pick and choose what is acceptable to you or not when getting into the prigsfy/security realm. If you try to find perfection, you won't.

For search, I use kagi. I love it. Worth the couple of bucks a month IMO. Free to try with some amount of searches a month on the free plan so you can just go fuck around and see if it is worth it for you too

    I haven't heard of kagi, might try it out. Although it being paid might be a dealbreaker...

    I switched to Kagi a few years ago and I’m not going back. It’s amazing how it’ll just give you the result with zero ads or SEO shit.

    You can even downrank specific sites just for you (fuck Pinterest)

    Remember if you are not paying with money, you are the product being sold.

    Remember if you are paying with money, you are probably still also the product being sold.
