      EDIT: I just realised my brain got confused between two conversations I was having at the same time. One was this one - the difference between Brave BROWSER and Brave SEARCH. And another one where I was talking about Duck Duck Go curating search results 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sorry for the confusion!

      Curation of results. Yes, you can argue it’s for a good reason. My issue is that they curate results based on ideologies at all. If they intentionally downrank some results based on their own beliefs for one thing, how can we trust them not to do it with other things? They weren’t exactly transparent about it either.

      I just want a search engine that serves me results based on what I have searched for. I can use my own brain to curate out or downrank results I don’t want. I’m not interested in a search engine that thinks it knows what’s best for me.

        Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate the risks but I like my search engine to have some standards rather than no filter at all
