I used google for most of my life, for the past couple months I’ve been using brave search, but I still end up using google often because google images is far better than brave search images. I’m also worried that maybe brave search isn’t the best choice. What would you guys recommend?

My reading is that the classic search listings are coming from Bing and the the quick answer type stuff is coming from DDGs systems.
