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 somewhat had this opinion as well, but by jumping on the ai hype train they threw this commitment out of the window imo
Edit: sadly I don’t have any real european alternatives (that aren’t just using google or bing results) as the only other one that (partly) uses an eu-based web index is qwant, which is in no small part funded by Axel Springer and iirc a previous ceo went on to create a sourveillance company (which kinda seems fishy)
Ohh, thank you for the info. Do you think it’s still safe to use qwant, then?
to be honest: i have no idea
it could be perfectly safe; it could be very unsafe
because of that i’m currently using startpage
while trying to minimize my web searches by
help()Thank you!
