I really like the Librewolf browser and DuckDuckGo search engine and mobile browser. The Iceraven browser on mobile is also quite nice.

    No one mentions startpage.com?

    The last I used DDG the results were not so good… Plus, DDG ran a huge ad on YouTube seemingly dogging Google – This to me adds weight to a theory that they are in cahoots. Even before seeing that, it seemed likely to me that there is some kind of overlap. So I steer clear of it… Maybe if the results were good it would at least be some consideration… But I think that DDG now may exist for the purpose of ultimately driving people back to Google, and for certain specific testing

    Aside from StartPage, Searx instances like monocles.de. If Qwant fixes their lite.qwant.com then that will be a goto again as well

      The fact that this got downvoted should tell you that Lemmy does already have shills. Also clearly illustrated previously in a “host your own email” thread. Hosting your own email is a direct threat to Gmail, and Gmail is a direct threat to all human beings on the planet. If I find that thread again in the next couple weeks I will link it here to show you.
