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.

    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.
