    Using Searx currently because Brave Search is not yet ready for the location where I am in and also in the language (non-English) that I am currently using.

    With this current Searx instance, I am getting results from Brave Search also, so I am not missing out on Brave Search.

    My opinion on Google Search vs Brave Search: Google Search is something that I wish to avoid at all costs whereas Brave Search is something that I wished it took off and gained a massive popularity in coming days/years.
