  Just FYI - Startpage is also using Google’s search index, so you’re kind of also “googling”.

      Brave is also just google/chrome in another packaging.

        Still a lot more private. It isn’t the same.

      In general, there are two main search indexes: Google’s and Bing’s, with a bunch of smaller ones here and there.

      DDG uses Bing and Yahoo, mainly. Their own index is relatively small.

      Brave says they use their own index.
