I live in a country which uses a language I don’t speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).
DDG actually uses Bing’s search indexing last time I checked! Startpage uses Google’s, which the major difference between them. Brave does its own thing, I think.
