you don't have to tell me information about why Rui's drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius' drive at first)

What's a good web search engine nowadays?

None. There's no good ones. There's at best acceptable ones

I've been liking searxng. It aggregates results from search engines you select and returns the results without being tracked by them.

https://searx.space/

SearXNG is a free and open-source federated metasearch engine forked from Searx. SearXNG supports over 70 different search engines. Similar to Searx, it does not collect information about users.

Like I've said elsewhere, I've had good results finding pirated media using the Brave search engine. The main downside is that it's run by Brave, and they are a bunch of cryptobros

I've had an easy time finding pirated stuff using the Brave search engine. Main downside is that its run by Brave. Not the best of people imho.

Mullvad VPN offers Brave Search as a backend in their Leta search engine proxy. That way you don't have to access Brave directly.

rarely any, for yandex is occasionally useful if you can stand the Russian.
