It was better. It used to mirror DDG exactly but then it deviated, which is likely a step in the right direction. But it also means it isn't as good. It would be nice to have a user script that puts DDG results under the brave ones (if they are unique) so your results are Brave unless they suck and you can just scroll down.
DDG results have always been Google results. They have never been uncensored, just privacy protected. I made the example elsewhere of wanting better news than CNN, but then picking a news source that just posts stories from CNN in a different order. That's basically what DDG does just with Google.
