New to privacy and de-googling, why is DDG recommended over Brave? (lemmy.ml)

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.

I always recommend https://noai.duckduckgo.com/%s because I'm trying to find results without AI/LLM. Nearly all search engines, including Brave, have AI results as a default. Sure, I can disable the AI results in the engine's settings but it's reset the next time I open my browser.
