DDG is essentially Bing though. The results aren’t the greatest. If Bing decides to ban a site, it’s banned on DDG.

I used to love Google, the company, the search, the tech. But god damn if in the last 5 years it hasn’t become the most insane ad delivery tool in existence. Sometimes when I Google something it’s multiple full pages of ads before I actually see what I’m looking for. I switched to duckduckgo.

Try presearch: it has way better results than DDG

Seems like a Brave-esqe crypto platform:
In addition to offering users a great search experience, Presearch is dedicated to creating significant value for marketers who would like to reach Presearch users. Advertisers can stake their PRE to a keyword, and whichever advertiser stakes the most tokens will have its ads displayed when a user searches on the term selected. Advertisers confer the most external value on PRE, so their success is very important to the ecosystem.

True, for the browser. But their search engine works in any browser and has the best quality search results

The site has ads too. Nothing specific to the app.

Should look into Kagi. No ads at all.

I don’t think that’s a good idea in terms of privacy and reliability. You need an account to use it

In terms of privacy that could be debatable.
But what do you mean by reliability?
