Which search engines do you use now?

[-] Adda@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

Brave Search currently, but I am still in the experimenting and search engine-hopping phase. Henceforth, Brave Search is not my final search engine, either.

Interesting. Which other ones have you tried? I'd be interesting in hearing what you thought of all of them!

@dan @Adda Brave search is getting better and better. I'm personally using combination of DDG, Google. But atm I'm testing kagi.com. I want to write post on it, once I try the 100 free queries.

I was trying Kagi but I'm put off it now that they're partnering with Brendan Eich. I don't think I'd use Brave search, for the same reason.

@dan I see, what's the problam with Brendan Eich, is he the former Firefox CEO?

[-] dan@upvote.au 1 points 5 months ago

He was only CEO for 11 days and was essentially forced out due to homophobic comments and funding proposals for banning gay marriage. He also spread misinformation about COVID-19. There's a thread in Kagi's forum about it here: https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave/16 and a Mastodon post here: https://chaos.social/@scy/111704636274463611
