Update: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-outage-affects-bing-copilot-duckduckgo-and-chatgpt-internet-search/

It's also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

Brave search is independent. It was trained with google search but now it’s a thing of its own and doesn’t rely on google. I switched from DuckDuckGo a year ago and haven’t looked back

Brave search is run by crypto bros. I’d rather use Kagi or DDG or even Google.

I would use Kagi if it was free. It might be run by crypto bros but doesn’t mean it’s a bad product. Google and bing own 99% of the search engine market. Competition that doesn’t rely on those two is always good

Well they were dishonest about the product behavior in multiple cases, such as adding referral links to search results. That makes it a bad product.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

That is a much better argument. But I still use it because I finally get different results from bing or Google.

I agree they were, but that’s the benefits of open source you can call out companies for doing stupid shit. Just like when Mozilla adds unnecessary telemetry.

Brave products are not open source. Not their search, and not the browser. Your post wording seems to imply that it is.

Never knew that, thanks for the correction.

I know the search is not but I thought the browser was on GitHub

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I stand corrected!
