TiffyBelle,

Search have now completely removed their dependence on MS Bing's API for search results. Results now come 100% from their own crawler:

Not only do they have one of the most private search engines, it is now fully independent. Search engines not tied to either Google or Bing crawlers are good for the web in general. 👍

@TiffyBelle @infosec Nice! How are they different from DDG?

TiffyBelle,

@damngoodtech @infosec From a privacy perspective, both are good.

DDG, however, is still reliant on third parties for results, mostly Bing. With Brave's recent change, is entirely independent.

On a personal level I also just prefer the results I get from Brave Search. I like how they present "discussions" in a separate area for forum/reddit threads and I like their AI summarizer. I also like how Brave has implemented DDG's !bang system, and seems to redirect quicker.
