Default search engine is DuckDuckGo.Antifeatures: UI is a bit dated:linux: :android: 2. Tor browserSite: https://www.torproject.org/Features: Uses Tor relays to keep anonymity.Anti-Features: A bit slow:linux: :windows: :android: Others are Bromite, Chromium, Firefox, and more.#privacy#browser

@ademalsasa @Tommy the default search for both of those browsers is #DuckDuckGo, and that's bad for #privacy. https://dev.lemmy.ml/post/31321

@Tommy nice share, Tommy!Let me add something:For everybody wanting instant privacy, consider browsing with FSF's completely free operating systems:1) Trisquel https://trisquel.infoUser friendly, Ubuntu-based secure & freedom respecting system. Browser included: Abrowser or Icecat & use DuckDuckGo by default. 2) PureOS https://pureos.netThis is the OS of Librem computers & smartphones. Browser included: PureBrowser, modified Firefox for privacy and uses DuckDuckGo by default.

@resist1984Yeah, just learned that from you ;)I would still say DDG is better than Google though..Need some more research.

@Tommy I'm building "Odysseus", "Rhapsode", & soon "Haphaestus". I also know of GNOME Web/"Epiphany".Odysseus, GNOME Web, & Midori shares the same browser engine "WebKitGTK". My others are written more from scratch targetting unusual devices, to promote a more secure & accessable Web at the cost of web compatibility.My goal with Odysseus is to explore more decentralized & private navigation aids.

@Tommy It's also been tested on GNOME3 (Debian) & Manjaro. And it's in the Arch User Repos.It's primarily designed for elementary OS, but not exclusive to it.

@Tommy Midori for privacy?Just a basic adblocker and javascript/media/plugin toggle buttons.IIRC it doesn't have ephemeral sessions (aka incognito™), cookie management, …Doesn't also have isolation of sessions (aka containers).Most of that stuff I provide since day 1 into https://hacktivis.me/projects/badwolf (which is also webkit-gtk based).Also depending on the distro, WebKitGTK sometimes really sucks so if the web view is significantly broken (like constant crashes) it's probably from your distro.

@resist1984 @ademalsasa @Tommy So... if DuckDuckGo isn’t a good choice for #privacy (vs #Google) then where are us mere mortals supposed to #search from? Any recommendations?

@hyperfocal @Tommy @ademalsasa there's a long list of decent ones, but nothing is better than Searxes (a specific searx node that filters out CF sites): https://ss.wodferndripvpe6ib4uz4rtngrnzichnirgn7t5x64gxcyroopbhsuqd.onion

@hyperfocal @resist1984 @ademalsasa @Tommy I've heard good things about "searx", though I used it for a few days and certain search terms would give *zero* results while ddg had plenty. Very strange.

@brad Hmm.. that's interesting.Were you using https://searx.info/or https://searx.xyz/ ? If you go to https://searx.me/ , you would have to find a instance, just like Mastodon, and maybe that instance didn't have anything.Stay Safe!

@Tommy I was using this one: https://search.snopyta.org(found from the https://searx.space/ list)and it wasn't that it didn't have anything. I used it for general searching for days and 90% of things went through, but for some reason certain search terms seemed to break it or something.

@TommyJust found this on wikipedia about google blocking searx.me:"Another reason to use different searx instances, and/or to run one's own, is that as of 2019, Google has begun to block some instances, including some of the IP addresses used by searx.me (former instance run by the developer), from querying it, resulting in a "google (unexpected crash: CAPTCHA required)" error.[39] "@brad

@mf @Tommy I don't remember which search resulted in it to double check, but I believe it was just a message that there were no results (a bold claim) rather than a specific error. I hadn't even quoted my search terms or anything, so I'd think it should find some generic similar things at least instead of refusing to show results.

@Tommy Should be able to.Just tell me, is a "libgranite-dev" package available? Most distros are starting to include it now, but it comes from elementary OS.

@Tommy Last I've checked it was in Debian Testing, but I would've expected it to progress by now.Try installing it manually from https://github.com/elementary/granite
