I heard a lot of bad stuff about Brave and their CEO lately and am now unsure if the search engine is any good? Do they censor stuff? Is any data collected? Can it be considered private?

If you'd not recommend it, what are good alternatives and why? I was a long time duckduckgo user before, so anything similar to it or brave search would be great. I'm not into self hosting.

You can use brave search anonymously through 4get.ca if you don't trust them.

Wow, I had no idea this existed, it's actually really well done. I've been using an onion searx instance for quite a lot now, I don't really have any problems with it (other than the times it doesn't work), but I will still add this to my list. You wrote in the about page that you dislike searx, why is that?
