I heard a lot of bad stuff about Brave and their CEO lately and am now unsure if the search engine is any good? Do they censor stuff? Is any data collected? Can it be considered private?
If you’d not recommend it, what are good alternatives and why? I was a long time duckduckgo user before, so anything similar to it or brave search would be great. I’m not into self hosting.

How is that different from other public searxng instances?
It could just be me, but I dig disroots outlook. They’re a privacy-focused platform ran by volunteers in it for what seems to be all the right reasons. While on the other hand, I can’t tell you much about the other public SearXNG instance options.
