This is pretty much a. Follow up to my post yesterday and was wondering which search engine to use, I’m leaning stlightly towards mullvad as it is a more reputable and they get their results exclusively from braves index but 4get is open source and has an official instance.

    How come? You can swap to google, but google is bad with censorship. I would have said braves index is the best independent index (other than google). Main reason I won’t use brave is it not being open source search engine. With this I get best of both worlds.

      Well I’m not a fan of Brave or Google as companies for individual reasons, look up about Brave’s CEO for example.

      I prefer to use an aggregator so at the moment I’m using searxng; the main downside I’ve found is that instances tend to get blocked from indexes eventually so you do have to move around a bit.

          I mean I would think twice about using them as a single source for search, the same as I would think twice about using Google as a single source. That’s why I prefer to use an aggregator.
