I used google for most of my life, for the past couple months I’ve been using brave search, but I still end up using google often because google images is far better than brave search images. I’m also worried that maybe brave search isn’t the best choice. What would you guys recommend?

I am paying for Kagi. Has worked well and some searched topics had been human curated so the answers are right there in the results. But it also does a good job with obscure searches, although it seems it tries to alter the meaning or context in order to show more results.

Best feature is the ability to hide from the results shit sites like Reddit or Quora.

Same - I paid last year and it just expired, so I tried Brave Search, DDG and Startpage but they weren't cutting it for me so I've just gone back to Kagi.
