DuckDuckGo

A remarkable job by the Great Satan in Redmond of laundering its substandard search engine through the not-really-arms-length privacy-washing marketing subsidiary, duckduckgo. The searches are provided by Bing and the frontend is hosted in Azure, Microsoft controls both sides of the transaction but people buy the privacy fairy tale, hook line and sinker. Really, a remarkable case study. Here's a fine example of why DDG's search results are worse than useless, if you needed another one. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=FEMA+concentration+camps&ia=web.

Brave Search

How does it compare to Brave Search which is supposedly using their own index and not reliant on Bing? [1] [1]: https://search.brave.com/.

Qwant

I use DDG regularly, and it's pretty well-known around here, but does anyone know much about these 'private' engines? * Qwant: https://qwant.com * Startpage: https://startpage.com * Ecosia (is it intended to be private in the same way as the others?): https://www.ecosia.org.

DuckDuckGo: Bang

I'm pretty sure that DDG also offers this type of filtering through their "bang" shortcuts. [0] [0] https://duckduckgo.com/bang.
