I was using DuckDuckGo for some time, but heard that there are better alternatives. I'm confused, because DDG is used by default in TOR browser, and other privacy respecting browsers (ex. Librewolf). Can you guys recommend any other search engine, and tell me why u recommend it?

Or, is DDG enough?

Brave search because it is their search company that finds new ways to make users more anonymus, Brave is not a middle man for another company.

I don't recommend because they force users to verify when searching if Startpage detects a VPN or Tor.

Some will say SearX, a self hosted search engine, the issue with SearX is the search results can be irrelevent or something random. I support it but I don't use it due to not consistently being relevent to my search or not informative.

SearX instances also get blocked from other search engines a lot.
