Been using SearXNG for about a year now, and I just can't deal with instances constantly getting blocked by search engines anymore. So I'd like to find something a bit more reliable. I've read that DuckDuckGo has had some controversies in the past, and I wouldn't touch Brave with a 39 and a half foot pole.

Their browser is sharing data with MS, since they're using their services instead of Google. They've been upfront about it and explained there is no way around it.

As long as you just use their search engine, you're fine.
