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

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… Will want to check on it again soon
Not only that
- springer holds a share of qwant and springer is a rubbish company.
- qwant on mobile shows you the mobile sites of the search results instead of the “real” website. I think that’s a tiny but important difference.
- qwant doesn’t show you the protocol, i.e. http, ftp, etc. And hides SSL encryption of sites.
- qwant forces you to choose a country and only serves higher income countries. Qwant shows you different results in different countries. It’s not just an english or french web, it’s a canadian french, frensh frensh, etc. Web.
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.
It took me two days to understand arkenfox.
I personally used this guide.

searx
DuckDuckGo is my favourite search engine. And my browser of choice is LibreWolf.
LibreWolf using my custom Searx instance.
Mull (browser) and Presearch (search engine).
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.
Firefox (with a few “privacy” plugins) on my desktop, Privacy Browser and Firefox on my phone. As for search engines: Qwant, Metager, Mojeek.
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.
Cool thing about Whoogle is that you can deploy it in one click on free service like Heroku. That’s a big plus compared to other self hosting solutions like SearX where you need extensive technical knowledge to deploy.

How about using different Searx instances?

But then you’re having your searches sold to Papa Microsoft (Bing)?

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.
duckduckgo and firefox with arkenfox’s user.js and ublock origin. works really well
Firefox
Anyone using https://metager.org/ ?
I use google often because it gives me the best results. There, I said it.
startpage has the same results though.
