Best alternative search engine option that actually works?

I learned from Reddit - r/technology that you can just add that to your browsers as a search engine.

• Mullvad has this built-in (Search Engine: DuckDuckGo (No AI))
• For Brave you have to manually add it go to brave://settings/searchEngines > Site search > Add (button) >

Name: DuckDuckGo (No AI) <— can be whatever you want Shortcut: (make up anything here) URL with %s in place of query: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s

then set that as default in brave

For librewolf:

about:preferences#search > Search Shortcuts > Add (button) >

Search engine name: DuckDuckGo (No AI) <— can be whatever you want URL with %s in place of search term: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s keyword (optional): (put something here if you would like)

then change default to the one you just made.

Edit: forgot to add to change default in librewolf steps.
