If you have the Brave Browser installed on your Windows devices, then you may also have Brave VPN services installed on the machine. Brave installs these services without user consent on Windows devices.
Brave Firewall + VPN is an extra service that Brave users may subscribe to for a monthly fee. Launched in mid-2022, it is a cooperation between Brave Software, maker of Brave Browser, and Guardian, the company that operates the VPN and the firewall solution. The firewall and VPN solution is available for $9.99 per month.
ddg relies on Bing so it isn't really comparable, idk about kagi's costs but they claim 1.2 cent per search and an average of 700 searches per month (as what they are serving and hence pricing for)
If you mean has a crawler, ddg does crawl and augments with bing. Kagi doesn't have any crawler.
And yet, Kagi's search results far surpass both DDG and Bing.
Do you have any possible way of measuring that, or are you going off of their marketing page
I'm going off of personal experience. I've used them all for SEO, and I find Kagi's results and experience better for my own personal use.

Not exactly. Mostly what I'm doing with "SEO" is making sure pages show up correctly on each search engine, such as the text previews and what pages come up if you just search for my client's name. If you don't format your webpage correctly, it can look pretty bad on some search engines. For Kagi specifically, it seems to pull the appropriate content and text previews from my client's sites most often, if that makes sense.
Since I'm self taught and self employed I don't do any of the shady things (at least, I hope) that actual SEO community might be doing, and I definitely can't afford to "pay off" any company to get better results.
Yeah that doesn't even mean anything
Uh… and what are you basing your opinion on? Not SEO or personal reasons, I hope.
That's why it's an opinion and not stating a fact.
That's what I said, it was my professional opinion. Sorry if you took it otherwise. Who pissed in your Cheerios? You have a vested interest in hating other people's choice of search engine?
I ask again, what are you basing your opinion off of if not personal reasons or SEO?
