+# Brave
+
+Seems very bad for dorks. Also, when I used a inurl:"" dork it gave me a captcha which was a slider one to cover a dot. Relatively easy atk, interesting that dorks seem to increase the rate of captchas. Also, the results are kind of awful wrt dorks, it doesn't seem to respect them, at least not inurl.
+
+# Startpage
+
+Hit captchas the most here. They are fairly simple, typing in a few lower + upper alphanumeric characters that are relatively easy to read. Nothing compared to the BS that are google's captchas.
+
+# DDG
+
+Do they ever show captchas? Also, seems like it frequently shows slop sites
+
+
+# Google
+
+Why the fuck is google the only search engine (i've found) that shows the citation count before research papers; this is an absolutely essential feature. This is the only reason I ever want to use google.
+
+Where else can I get this? DDB, brave, startpage don't do this.
