Brave Search Replaces Google as Default Search Engine in the Brave Browser

DuckDuckGo

Here's another one I had today: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=maan+leo&ia=web Maan Leo is a Dutch author. DDG gives me a few bad results about Maan Leo, a few bullshit links about horoscopes ("Make a Leo man chase you"), and finally the Wikipedia page for Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The Google search gives me results about, well, Maan Leo (in spite of using Indonesian search by the way – this GeoIP stuff Google does is so annoying). For this particular term, DDG is basically useless. The Brave search results also seem a lot better by the way. Certainly loads better than DDG.

Whoogle Search

I haven't used Google for many years, so I can't speak to whether it shows personalized results today. But, I recently switched to Whoogle Search (https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search) which shows Google results but without the tracking. I am happy with it, that I have completely ditched DuckDuckGo in favor of it.

Google Scholar

Trying to look specifically for research papers on regular Google search is always a bad idea, covid or not, which is why https://scholar.google.com is a thing.
