Each should be checked against the other.

#4 All major American Search Engines that I know of, now run chromium under the Hood, including Brave, and even including MS's Bing.

Chromium - although open source - is an Alphabet / GOOGL product. Alphabet / Google deserves no trust.

P.S. - I fooking hate Bing and Edge.
