The brave search engine was recommended to me so I gave it a quick test - is it any good? - no, it's utter crap like all the others - they are all providing only selected approved content, it just depends who's AI is doing the approving.
But honestly, I gave the Brave search engine a few tries, thought it was hopeless, and soon went back to swapping between Yandex and DuckDuckGo. They are both far from perfect, but I've come to think that there is no such thing a one size fits all search engine, just avoid Google like the plague!.
Here is an example - trying out DuckDuckGo, vs Brave, vs Yandax, by asking if "Michelle Obama" is a transvestite. Obviously he is, because Michael Robinson is a man, so search censorship doesn't get much more blatant than this example.
DuckDuckGo is my basic go to search engine in most browsers - it's there ready to go, it's better than the appalling Google, and it sort of works. But showing it here displaying propaganda from "Snopes" as it's first answer reveals what utter crap DuckDuckGo actually is.
As expected Yandex was far more helpful, it included lots of pictures of Michael Robinson's cock sticking out the front of his dress, and didn't try to brush this huge white elephant under the carpet.
Yandex is generally a far better search engine for finding any non approved content, as long as it doesn't involve secrets about Russia!
