DDG is by default Bing. Add !g to the end of a search string and it will redirect to google.
Brave is run by a bigoted piece of shit funded by peter theil, a different piece of shit.
Mullvad leta is a proxy service that isn't a search engine exactly but rather a proxy for google or brave search.
Never understood the point of adding !g to DDG searches cause it literally redirects you to Google. What's the freaking point of that? Might as well bypass the redirect and just directly search Google.
Because ddg proxies your request, so they don't fingerprint your browser & IP and tag the search to you
It proxies nothing, it literally redirects your browser to Google.
Huh ! You're right. It seems to be startpage who do that. Good thing I never used that functionality I guess. The only thing I bang is wikipedia. Umm wait, that's not what I meant. Lol
