I use brave search, and it works great!

Saying that you use Brave seems to result in instant downvotes in lemmy. Kinda makes sense given the fediverse demographic simply don't align with Brave's CEO.

Also, mentioning Kagi often results in replies accusing ads and shilling because Kagi is a paid search engine (with free trial), but it worth checking nonetheless. They reached 20k paying users recently, not bad for a new paid search engine. The fact they're able to convince 20,000 people to pay for search engine means the search result is pretty good.

Oh, I also dislike the CEO, but the search engine is good enough that I can't find a privacy-friendly alternative Edit: I am also broke as fuck so I can't afford to pay for a search engine

Brave may be persona non Grata around here, but props to them for actually crawling the web. Just about every other private search engine uses APIs from Google/Bing or scrapes/proxies results from other search engines.

Yeah exactly, and its the only private search engine that actually gives me good results for tech troubleshooting, although if another private browser gets equivalent results I'm jumping ship immediately
