I love the search engine of Brave, because it's the first privacy-friendly alternative to Google, which competes with the quality of search results.

DuckDuckGo, Qwant and similar search engines never give me so good results.

Its not the results I'm worried about with DDG, After all they just use bing behind the scenes anyways.

It's their deep financial ties to Microsoft thats worrying. And it seems they're willing to turn their back on privacy when Microsoft asks.

Can you elaborate? Are there specific things they have done to “turn their back on privacy when Microsoft asks”?

I suspect he is confusing DuckDuckGo with Brave...: https://www.techradar.com/news/duckduckgo-in-hot-water-over-...
