Changes proposed in this PR:

As marked on GitHub, this is a draft PR as wording and formatting is not set in stone. I'm unsure of what to rearrange, add, or remove, so any feedback is welcome. Here are some questions as a starting point:
- Logging: Is it better to list information that is logged in the table, and list what isn't logged in the description under each card; or, as in the DNS comparison table, just link to a footnote explaining the logging policies?
- Countries of operation: List it in a column, or include it in the descriptions of each recommendation? (The latter is done for the VPN recommendations.)
- Metasearch engines: Being that SearXNG is not like the other providers on this page, does it necessitate a new "Metasearch engines" heading; or should it still be included in the table?

Changes made since the initial commit:

  • Removed "Country of Operation" column from the table and incorporated the information into the descriptions of each recommendation
  • United the "Logging" and "Privacy Policy" columns to one (idea from Add logging information to DNS criteria #2509)
  • Added footnotes to each entry in the "Logging / Privacy Policy" column, using the DNS Resolvers page as a reference

Changes made before marking PR as ready for review:

  • Re-added "Country of Operations" column to the table since it looked sparse with just four columns
  • Abbreviated "personally identifying information" in accordance with the style guide
  • Added internal links for Tor Browser and Safari in the DuckDuckGo card
  • Added a link to Wikipedia page about metasearch engines
  • Added a link to documentation explaining Brave Search's Discussions feature
  • Added link to documentation on Brave's Anonymous local results to contextualize IP address processing by Brave Search
  • Changed wording in several places
