This is more private in some ways because more people use it. If you host your own searxng instance, Google/Brave/Bing can guess it's the same person that searches for all the things using the IP of your server.
so you have the ultra-cheap Mullvad service and it is fast enough for you? This is the same one where I can send in cash to Mullvad to pay - umm, the super-anonymous Mullvad VPN?
Did a test search: "movie where charlize is homeless"
An interview about Monster was second. Wikipedia articles about her and her filmography were shortly after. Top his was top ten movies about homelessness. Imdb page for Monster wasn't on the first page.
Google, Kagi, and DDG all had it at the top. I think this one needs time to mature.

Just a shell around Brave and Google.

What does it have to do with Brave?

Isn't it obvious from its front page? It lets you choose between the Brave and the Google search engines.

Oh I didn't even realize Brave had a search engine. Last time I used Leta it didn't say anything about that.

While I am a very happy mullvad VPN user this offering doesn't seem very comparable to say a searxng instance especially a self hosted one.

Not sure why, but my search results have been even worse than with duckduckgo
