I genuinely won’t even use Brave indexes on my SearXNG instance; I have the engines disabled. My search quality has not suffered; as most of my results end up being DDG or Yahoo anyways; and Brave was only ever duplicating results from other engines anyways.

Just curious, do you buy things from Amazon?

Good work doing what you can!
Dodging shitty companies is difficult.
