Well, after using DDG exclusively for web search since maybe 2014, I'll have to jump ship. I was never chuffed about them not using their own index, but removing priate sites and yt-dl, and the improving.duckduckgo.com business is exactly the type of behaviour I left Google for DDG over.

I've liked what little of Brave Search I've used, but I'm not in love with Brave as a company either so perhaps I'll audition some of the paid web search options.
