What search engines do you use?

I should add that, if I'm reading a Kindle book (using Kindle for PC software) and highlight/look up/get a definition for a word or phrase, it does so with Google.

(The software does have an internal dictionary, but it doesn't work for multiple words and phrases.)

I never liked Safari and Mozilla Firefox always crashed. My default browser was Chrome until a friend told me about Brave, so I've been using that quite often. Brave uses Duck Duck Go for their searches. But it has it's pitfalls. A few times it crashed and sometimes it does not open at all. Plus when I'm using it on my tablet, I can't access what I bookmarked there while on my desktop, like I can with Chrome. I can probably fix that though by signing in...not sure.

I've tried using Tor...allegedly the most safe and private. It warns of this...it can be slow and I lose patience. Since I have a VPN, and use private windows on both search engines, I don't worry so much about privacy issues with either of them. Plus Chrome, being aware of it's own pitfalls, has a way for users to enhance their privacy. This article explains how to enable that feature, which I've also done.

I always use Brave for SF and Facebook. I noticed once when I signed in using Chrome (I think Brave had crashed that day), I saw ads here. I thought it was something new for SF, then I realized it's because I was using Chrome, not Brave.
