Hi everyone,
I’m choosing a default search engine and I’m torn between DuckDuckGo and Brave Search. What matters most to me:
Privacy: what’s actually logged, and can the claims be trusted? Independence from Big Tech: DDG partly relies on Bing, while Brave has its own index. Result quality: relevance for daily, technical and niche queries. Trust: track record, controversies, business model.
Which one do you use daily, and why? Have you noticed a real quality difference? Thanks!


DDG has a no ai version which is what I use.
https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
It also has a lite version - https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite
Or the HTML version which I think looks nicer. https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/
Thanks for this! HTML version is clean af
I tried NoAI DDG vs Lite vs HTML. Why do NoAI and Lite have identical results while HTML is similar but might be reordered or have one or two different results?
