I've heard of Startpage (which appears to be a frontend for Google results), but I personally like Brave Search more (visually, also you have !bangs for quickly searching wikipedia, ddg or startpage when you need it). I heard ecosia should be private, buy I've been ciritical and didn't look into it yet, because its main focus appears to be planting trees.
Brave search results are good, way better than DDG's for me. Good work, Brave team!
Wow I've been using Brave search for a while now and had no idea bangs were a thing. It'd be nice if there was more ways to showcase them visually to help discover this nifty feature
I came from ddg, so I just assumed / tried and they worked :D
I've looked into ecosia and they store IPs for a week to "protect ourselves from spammers". They encrypt your searches, use Bing for results and ads, but they filter the "annoying" ones. I think they are pretty good overall.
