Hardened GNU IceCat + Searx.

Mull on mobile.

Librewolf has trackers.

Bounced around alot but I’ve found FF with ublock, then recently started self hosting searx. Searx is alright but I still prefer DDG from time to time.

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.

I compiled a list of search engines that use their own indexes for organic results: https://seirdy.one/2021/03/10/search-engines-with-own-indexes.html

I’ll probably post a big update to that article at some point that compares if/how some of the listed engines process structured data (RDFa, microdata, JSON-LD, microformats 1/2, open graph metadata, POSH).

I typically use a Searx/SearxNG instance that mixes Google, Bing, and Bing-derivatives (e.g. DDG) with other indexes: Petal, Mojeek, Gigablast, and Qwant (Qwant mixes its own results with Bing’s). Petal, Gigablast, and Mojeek have been quite helpful for discovering new content; however, I wouldn’t use Petal directly due to privacy concerns. Using it through a Searx proxy you trust more seems alright.

If I know a query will give me an instant answer I want to use, I’ll use DDG.

I don’t see Whoogle posted. If you really need/want to use Google search for whatever reason, Whoogle is a great alternative. I’m not sure why it’s not more heavily discussed on places like PrivacyGuides, PrivacyTools, etc.

Mull (browser) and Presearch (search engine).

• Abrowser / Iceweasel -> less bloated Firefox-based browsers.
• searx

Anyone using https://metager.org/ ?

I use google often because it gives me the best results. There, I said it.

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.

DuckDuckGo is my favourite search engine. And my browser of choice is LibreWolf.
