Is Brave Search trustworthy? (feddit.de)

I heard a lot of bad stuff about Brave and their CEO lately and am now unsure if the search engine is any good? Do they censor stuff? Is any data collected? Can it be considered private?

If you'd not recommend it, what are good alternatives and why? I was a long time duckduckgo user before, so anything similar to it or brave search would be great. I'm not into self hosting.

Source? Your ass?

Source is the same level of reliability as brave saying it is trustworthy.

The source is "trust me bro"

Which means: no, it is not trustworthy. Hence my "no"
