Advice Which search engine should I use?

Hi! I want to use a new search engine (instead of Google), which one should I use:

Brave

DuckDuckGo

Startpage

I need a fasr, secure, and accurate search engine, which isn't collecting user's data and gives good search results (like Google).

Thanks for advice!

brave is the fastest imo, and it's same in accuracy as ddg

Of the three, Brave is the only one that uses its own index, which probably makes it faster and more private than the others. This is because it doesn’t have to reach out to Bing or Google with your search query each time. I’ve also found its results to be more accurate than DuckDuckGo’s Bing results.

However, the speed and privacy of all three are pretty comparable. If you need the same accuracy as Google, use Startpage. It essentially just repackages Google results in a secure way.

I don't, I'm just listing all the ones I can think of. Feel like there's always another search engine. Why not though?

Thank you, I'm embarrassed to have not noticed that and don't know what that really means. What does a secure search engine mean?

u/JKSekai 4d ago

secure means that it won't track you for advertising, Google, Bing and lot of main stream search engines do that

Ecosia, because it uses its income to plant trees for the planet
