That's not an unpopular opinion. It's a known fact for years.
Clearly, I shouln't have posted this as an "Unpopular opinion" but rather as a PSA or general advice, my bad. Just something i thought as something people should know. Also I'm sure there is better search engine out there so please share away !

I use Brave and occasionally Crowdview for questions... any reason why I should find a Searx instance instead?
Nice to see someone talking about this. I actually have been using bing for the last year because of this exact reason. Also when using a VPN, bing never gives me a captcha.
Why would you use Bing over DDG? Honest question
Bing Chat is great, and at work we use M365, so I can easily search for work content through Bing too.
Bing Rewards are also a nice bonus.
I've been using Bing chat allot. I got the extension that lets me use it on Firefox. It's insanely useful, and I feel like it's getting better with time as it learns. I still use DuckDuckGo for search though, although I've been using search less and less as Bing chat gets better.

I pretty much exclusively use Google to search for reddit posts on niche stuff. I stick with google because DDG or any alternatives I tried don't have the Date of the searched reddit posts on the results.
I'd use Bing but all the links are purple and I can't fix it after googling fixes x.x

Yandex is even better.
SearX go brrr There's even a tab for ′files′ which is all just torrents
Wouldn't the apps you use track anyway? For example would it be pointless to use searX on an app like chrome, firefox or duck?
I believe the idea is that searx strips out tracking/data from the queries sent and recieved from engines.
There's some info here
As for the browser tracking you, yes. It doesn't matter what search engine you use on a browser like Chrome it can still track you.
I just only know I have been using duckduckgo for years and for me is enough
I think they care about DMCAs, for example my Lemmy instance for some reason is completely blocked on bing on behalf of some unspecified copyright troll
It's just most copyright trolls only care about Google and won't even bother sending the DMCA to bing
Been using the Duckduckgo app for awhile now. Works fantastic, F google
Duckduckgo largely based it's classic results on Bing.
So I guess this is an agree to OP?
I've been using duckduckgo for many years. So I wouldn't know how it compares to Google results.
Yup, honestly haven't seen much difference at all when I switched a few years ago. But thanks to this post I learned about SearX. Gonna give that try now. Curious though if using a browser like Chrome for example, would make it a pointless? That's what drew me to duck since they have their own app.
