    I find Brave’s dependence on Chromium (and therefore Google) to be troubling. They don’t have the engineering team to keep up with Google as they continue backtracking on the “Don’t Be Evil” motto.

    For the same reason, I prefer Brave Search over DuckDuckGo. DDG relies almost entirely on Bing for its results. In comparison, Brave Search has a completely independent search index and does its own web crawling.

      DuckDuckGo had its own bit of controversy too.

        Oh for sure. The manual down ranking of Russian search results didn’t really bother me, but the undisclosed inability to block Microsoft tracking in their browser was enough to have me avoid it going forward. Not a good look, especially when there are already better options in the space.
