Their privacy policy and data flow have been the same since the buyout, they were transparent about any implications and the mitigations put in place to protect users, so I'm alright with it. The biggest problem I have with them is sometimes getting rate-limited because of a VPN or Tor, but that's it. Alternatives like DDG and Brave Search are usually bad for results in my native language, so I've been using Startpage for a couple years now and it's nice

For me Brave search has pretty good results. Not as Google, of course, but enough. Definetly better than DDG.

Its not about how good. How much privacy. Brave search is worse then DDG in all ways and form. Bad Search Results, Weird to get and read Privacy Policy???, Brave had at sometime a crypto miner in it.

I don't know why you have problem with Brave Search Privacy. They do log operating system and browser version. Is that scary? You can easily bypass this f.e. by using Chameleon Firefox extension.

They have a quirky privacy policy and it is never good.
