I switched to this from DuckDuckGo several months ago because Brave uses their own index, while DDG famously uses Bing's. The results are a lot better in my experience and it feels like the search engine is built for me instead of for advertisers. Brave search just feels like cleaner, quieter tech. I've also never seen NSFW results on an innocuous search (a problem I had regularly with DDG). On the rare occasion I end up using Google, seeing the results page is a jarring (and slightly stressful) experience with all of the distractions and irrelevant results.
