Suggestion: Create an extension for Safari on iOS and iPadOS that would make Brave Search the default search engine in Safari. Alternative Suggestion: If it is not possible to change the default search engine outright, enable a !bang that is just a space (example would read " test search") for Brav…

I like the idea, but it needs to be implemented properly - I used the one for Qwant search and with it on I couldn’t access any other search engine websites like Brave Search, DDG or Google. I’ve just been getting redirected to Qwant search results page with “null” input :crazy_face: Needless to say…

DDG has always been a scam, regardless of political events: basically, it’s a re-branded Microsoft Bing, and how Microsoft could “protect privacy” is still a mystery. See also
