      Yes, I use Vivaldi since 6 years now and I see every day in it’s Forum new users, which abandoned Firefox for this reason, even a lot of Linux users. Not bad for a small Icelandic cooperative.

          Yes, but, do you use sync? AFAIk all of the FF forks use sync with Mozilla, with this you ar in the same problem with Google surveillance (Alphabet.INC and Google analytics) and future Gecko developments. Well, it’s good as long as it serves you.

            Yes, I do use sync and resist fingerprinting.I know it’s not perfect and has downsides, but for my use case it works. One of my next project is self- hosted searx engine and then comes Nextcloud. That’ll be tough as I am a finance person but a self-taught coder :-))

              If you can self hot search engines, apart of Searx, try also Whoogle. It is always good to have several alternatives in the search. I use ANDI as primary search, apart from these some specific ones, like Wikipedia, Wolfram Alpha, PixaBay, etc. Not self hosted, but very useful.

                Thanks for this. I know Whoogle, but never heard of ANDI. I will definitely look into this.
