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

I’ve been using Librewolf on Fedora, Bromite and Vanadium on mobile, and DDG for search but not super happy with that one and am looking for a replacement myself. Might use startpage, idk.
Firefox (with a few “privacy” plugins) on my desktop, Privacy Browser and Firefox on my phone. As for search engines: Qwant, Metager, Mojeek.
LibreWolf using my custom Searx instance.
Mull (browser) and Presearch (search engine).
People should know about
https://marketplace.presearch.org
And make informed choices
Anyone using https://metager.org/ ?
I am, on Mobile.
I use google often because it gives me the best results. There, I said it.
startpage has the same results though.
Brave Search with Brave and DuckDuckGo.
Mobile: DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser
Desktop: Firefox with all the neaded add-ons, and the search engine for Firefox is DuckDuckGo
duckduckgo and firefox with arkenfox’s user.js and ublock origin. works really well
Firefox is my brower for years. The latest and ongoing fuckeries from Mozilla make me mad, so I’ll probably switch to Librewolf. I have Chromium-based browser for compatibility reasons (mainly video conferences, Youtube sometimes). I won’t use any Chromium as my main browser because I care about diversity and don’t want an effectivly Google-controlled application.
For search I recommend DuckDuckGo or Brave. Personally I use a recently setup private Searx instance and I’m quite happy with it.
Why switch? Mozilla has always been dumb and a little bit sketchy, doesn’t mean that FF isn’t awesome
You can just switch to a fork (wich is basically the same as having a custom user.js)
qwant.com a french search engine with focus on privacy
I wish qwant wouldn’t have so many problems. It could be a really good search engine
Yeah, there was something quirky with lite.qwant.com results that made it unusable
Firefox
Hardened Firefox + Searx, along with Noscript, Ublock Origin, and cookie autodelete. Mobile is the same thing but with Mobile Firefox.
Librewolf is actually better, no need to manually make firefox better (or other firefox fork).
It takes like 5 minutes to harden Firefox and 30 minutes to build librewolf from source.
I use Gentoo, I already build everything lol. But yeah it’s true that it takes no time to use a custom user.js
duckduckgo onionsite is the best as it keeps your behavior looking like other tor users.
Best to not draw attention by making a pattern of using a given searx instance.
But then you’re having your searches sold to Papa Microsoft (Bing)?
