I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).
I was using Brave until last month. They did something and now image search redirects to Google/Bing so might as well use Google I guess…
Oh and also the normal search results got really bad all of a sudden.
Wow, glad I’m not the only one who had that impression. I have been using Brave Search for about half a year now and rarely had any problems finding what I was looking for, then eventually I started getting mostly older results, sometimes not even on topic.
