This comment perfectly encapsulates how I feel about web search. What Google did successfully was really hard, but they got woke and broke their machine. At the same time SEO optimizers are getting sneakier making precision drop. The alternative engines are playing catch up, and now you have some of them going woke or adding bias to their results for other reasons. I don't know how we get back to the golden age of search.

I'm like you and have a selection of multiple search engines to fall back on, but they are all weak in one way or another. Hopefully Brave keeps getting better and they don't go the same route.
