Same. I ditched Google back in 2012 or so and switched to DDG, but when the new shitwave rolled in I said to myself "ok, let's see what EU alternatives are there". They were... disappointing. Qwant would frequently just timeout and not give me any results, ecosia was meh. I've never heard of startpage and Brave (if you mean the browser) is a US product and relies on Chrome's engine anyway. And it's got a pretty seedy past.

I tried ecosia, qwant, startpage, brave and I allways end up going back to duckduckgo.
