Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
So ddg is down, so I visit Google. It's been some years.
I just can't believe how poor it's results are, and how it's trying to suggest things it think I might also want (and failing miserably).
I just assumed ddg would be the lesser, but I use it for privacy. Turns out I'm wrong.

I'm currently using searx.be with good results
Searx improved a lot since I last used it. Was really slow before
Its searxng now (the original searx is dead) and is quite good. Performance differs. I've seen very slow instances, but when I started hosting my own semi-private instance, I saw how fast it can be, if the server isn't a potato.
How can I set it as default browser on Android Brave?
Not able to do it
Sorry, but I don't know how to do that. I use Cromite, not Brave.
Do you ever have moments where you type something to search into the address bar and you just get taken to the instance home page? That happens to me every now and then and I'm wondering if it's the instance I'm using
I have not experienced this, no. Unsure as to what that could be, but if another instance doesn't cause that issue that would be a good sign that it is the current instance you're on.
I've switched back to searx.be and I haven't faced the issue yet. Must've been the instance then. Strange
