Describe the solution you'd like Please add radio items for Qwant and Brave Search.

Describe alternatives you've considered Custom Search Engine field.

Additional context N/A

Yes, I'm aware, it'd be nice to have more in-built options for novice users who don't understand {0}.

Also Qwant and Brave are far more privacy leaning and less censored.

@EmirhakanTanhan Thx for the PR btw, but I am still not convinced yet:

  1. The user base of Qwant and Brave is too low even compared to Duck Duck Go. Most of the Notepads users are using Google/Bing.
  2. Having too many options in the settings is against Notepads' design and philosophy.
  3. There is already an option for you to configure any arbitrary search engine and I am pretty sure for people using Qwant and Brave knows how to configure it (think about it).
