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

I use google often because it gives me the best results. There, I said it.

startpage has the same results though.

Firefox is my brower for years. The latest and ongoing fuckeries from Mozilla make me mad, so I'll probably switch to Librewolf. I have Chromium-based browser for compatibility reasons (mainly video conferences, Youtube sometimes). I won't use any Chromium as my main browser because I care about diversity and don't want an effectivly Google-controlled application.

For search I recommend DuckDuckGo or Brave. Personally I use a recently setup private Searx instance and I'm quite happy with it.

Why switch? Mozilla has always been dumb and a little bit sketchy, doesn't mean that FF isn't awesome

Firefox is awesome. However with Librewolf I didn't have to change one single setting, because the default are so good. It even comes with uBlock Origin installed.
