Google, DuckDuckGo and Bing now all return the same shitty LLM-generated nonsense sites to most of my searches, and don't respect my literal search terms even when I put them in quotes.

I've been using brave search on my pc and phone for maybe 6 months now. i still use google like 10% of the time if i'm searching for something that isn't in english, but otherwise, id even say for many things brave returns better results than google
