Some people may like this because it means DuckDuckGo isn't collecting user info (as it promises) but for me practicality wins.
For normal use I recommend google or Bing because they've put so much $$$ into great search and a dynamic user-interface. Google is slightly superior, but Bing is good enough for me.
The problem with both of these is that their results have a left/woke/feminist slant which is not admitted and not quantified. I was quite surprised by Bing turning Wimbledon into a women's tournament! They also collect huge amounts of data about you, which again is unknown and unquantified.
Sometimes I've been able to find information with DuckDuckGo that I couldn't get from google or Bing. I'll also try Brave in the future.
@Charlie - that's very interesting about DuckDuckGo and "disinformation"! I'm seeing the usual suspects among friends and relatives talking more about "disinformation". It's the next wave, and terrifies me.
