From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

@squid True...Harder now to add a custom search engine unless you visit it and then click the url on top to get a dropdown to add it...but manually adding it is hard.
Speaking of search engines I highly recommend searx.neocities.org/ - it randomly uses the best Searx instances. No ads, no tracking...
So when you do go to add the engine you provided, what do I need to append after the url to enable searching from the browser address bar? Everything I've tried returns a 404
@bobs_monkey searx.neocities.org/ most search engines get recognized in Firefox. Simply visit the link then right click the url and you should see a menu entry like: Add Searx as your search engine.
Ah my bad, I meant Firefox android. I've been hunting around and am not really coming up with anything

Brilliant, thank you!!
