I tried Kagi (free 100 query plan) and got about the same results as google/DDG. It’s kind of nice but I couldn’t see subscribing. I hate subscriptions. If they sold access for a flat fee per query (let’s say $5 for 200 queries) I’d buy that, and use a dozen or so queries a month.
Search.brave.com ain’t bad
Too bad brave's CEO is a giant bigoted piece of shit who I refuse to support.
Damnit. Okay, what’s the next best Chromium based browser? I love Firefox but I have to keep a Chromium browser on hand for the few sites FF just doesn’t handle properly.
I just use ungoogled chromium in those cases
Vivaldi was my main browser for a while, and my backup chromium browser since I switched back to Firefox. Most of the privacy stuff in Brave is available as separate extensions and I really like Vivaldi’s sidebar and profile management.
What sites don’t FF handle? Small or big?
Google Docs, ComfyUI (on mobile), couple porn sites.

If it works for you, and it’s only a secondary/failsafe browser, shouldn’t feel too guilty to use it.

I don’t use brave and I’m not aware of what’s the issue with the CEO, not sure if knowing that would change my protective

The founder/CEO actively donates to anto-LGBT organizations, including ones that support conversion therapy. The guy is an awful piece of shit, and any decent person should take whatever steps necessary to not support them.

Thankfully, that's as simply as not using Brave.
