Although I hate the Brave browser, the search engine is the most useful of the others. It gives me the most correct results compared to the others, even it sometimes ignores the quality resources.

I wonder your opinion about the search engine. Do you have any negative ones?

    I am a fan of Startpage as well! They also have an onion site. Anytime I see that, it is a green flag to me considering there’s an inherent favoring for anonymity. With that, I know your recommendations are reliable and I’ll put Andi to the test. Everybody says they have the best AI, so the only way to find out is with testing. I do need to stop using Google…

      I use Andi since almost 2 years now as main search, it was the first AI search ever, long before all other introduce it. It’s from a small Startup of 2 Devs, which also hate Google and the surveillance crap used by it and other Big Brother companies. Centering the LLM less in the capability to be a Chatbot like others, but be able for a good summarize and explain the articles from reliable sources. It don’t invent nothing when it don’t find the answer, in this case it offers a traditional websearch.

        I replaced all of my searches with Andi and it was as advertised. Didn’t beat around the bush at all. Though Brave is a lot better with programming questions and obscure references. I went back and forth testing each out.

          I use Andi as main search by default, but naturally I use also others, eg. Startpage for images, also Mojeek among others, apart some specific ones for Forums, Pixabay, Wikies, etc… I always find what I search
