Duckduckgo uses google, try Brave instead
Lies. Duckduckgo uses bing. Startpage uses google.
When did they switch from google?
Bing is not any better.
Brave has thier own search enginr.
They always used bing. You're probably mixing it Startpage which does use Google's search engine.
Why is brave's engine better than bing? Better in terms of usefulness is subjective. If better privacy I would definitely like to hear the argument.
FYI if you use something like CalyxOS or Graphene, you can completely restrict network access to any app. So you can for instance use Gboard and just never let it hit the Internet.
