Yes, it’s not great

Privacy respecting search engines

I used DDG to search for “privacy search engines” and skimmed through some of the articles that came up. Here are are some of the engines which figure in those articles: DuckDuckGo Startpage Qwant Metager Mojeek Ecosia Gibiru I have been using DuckDuckGo for some time but I would be interested to try out others as well. I’ll be grateful for you comments and suggestions. Edit: correcting the spelling

Which privacy browser?

from one post I’ve got the idea to ask you which browser respect more user privacy in your opinion and which addons or preferences do you use to improve your privacy. as main browser I’m using firefox with ublock origin and facebook container addon and in firefox preferences I’ve left “standard” privacy protection. as second browser I use opera that has a free VPN included

Personally I’m still using DDG as a search engine, but there’s no prospect of me using the DDG browser.
