I’m currently working on re-evaluating our search engine selection (reading privacy policies and all that good stuff), to see what to keep, remove, maybe add. I figured I might use some input from lemmy.

  • what do you use out of the ones we include? is anyone actually using search engines like qwant and metager?
  • do you add any search engine to librewolf?

if you’re curious bout my notes on this -> https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/issues/111

    in the end the final decision was:

    • keep ddg, ddg lite, searxng, metager, wikipedia.
    • remove whoogle, brave, qwant.
    • add startpage.

    basically, reduce the number of engines by keeping only the most popular ones (nothing against the others, but users can add them manually), and replace whoogle with startpage for google results.

    by popular ones I mean the one that were suggested the most in this discussion, so thanks everyone!
