I currently use Firefox and DuckDuckGo, but I’m thinking about getting a new browser and search engine. Are there any good recommendations. Privacy-focused is non-negotiable, and i would like it to be open source.
I have heard of Ecosia. How exactly do they work? If they truly do help the environment, like they claim, I may look into that. Is there any evidence? Looking into their privacy policy, it doesn’t seem too optimal.
I use Ecosia, but Qwant is my backup if I see privacy becoming an issue.
Adding to that, both are european but they use Microsoft Bing results. However they are cooperating to slowly build their own index and be 100% independent. I use Qwant and I am totally satisfied. The only european search engine that does not depend on big tech is Mojeek but I find their results sometimes disappointing.
Thanks! I’ll look into Qwant.
Those are search engines, not browsers
This is a comment.
Ecosia is both, and OP’s question is for both. Please pardon my perfect answer.
Excuse me, I didn’t realise OP was also asking for search engines. (Not sarcasm)
