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

Not to mention that Librewolf is struggling with compatibility on M1 macs, so you’re forced to build from source, but even then, no guarantee it will work because the developers can’t test it.

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 on mobile.
- qwant hides the subfolder structure of the site you are about to enter on mobile.
- 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.
Vivaldi + DDG I honestly don’t care about open source. JS Restrictor for blocking for blocking some js
Mull (browser) and Presearch (search engine).
DuckDuckGo is my favourite search engine. And my browser of choice is LibreWolf.
duckduckgo and firefox with arkenfox’s user.js and ublock origin. works really well
searx
I like Brave with DDG as it is relatively simple and doesn’t break loads of sites. I also use the uMatrix extension to block 3rd party JS, this means most sites work fine with their own JS but any other JS is blocked by default.
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.
Mobile: DuckDuckGo Privacy Browser
Desktop: Firefox with all the neaded add-ons, and the search engine for Firefox is DuckDuckGo
Anyone using https://metager.org/ ?
I am, on Mobile.
Firefox (with a few “privacy” plugins) on my desktop, Privacy Browser and Firefox on my phone. As for search engines: Qwant, Metager, Mojeek.
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 the necessary add-ons. Simple as pie.
