You're right. I use DuckDuckGo primarily because it's an available option with FireFox (which I dislike, too, but AdBlock integrates with it). If I'm searching for something I know will be censored, I'll use Brave. I have used Yandex once or twice, but I was not familiar with the way it presented results, and got some weird things that influenced my confidence in it. I know many people prefer it.
