Signal for personal. Discord for gaming. Element/Matrix as much as I can.

Firefox. My initial experience with Jerboa wasn't great but it is improving.
Thank you very much. Yours also, wholesomeness champ! :)
Firefox for Android is great, and after some initial teething problems, it's been solid for a long time.
I remember seeing on reddit a story about a guy who created something and I think suggested DDG stole some of his work and packaged it up as their own. I cannot find it anymore, but remember seeing it at the time and it seemed convincing (even though I was using DDG search and was a fan of their work). I still use them, but not for everything and I remain skeptical. FF is open source, and has been pretty trustworthy for a long time imho.
Take that data with a pinch of salt. Their comments per day surpasses total Lemmy comments for all time it seems: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
It's still great growth, and a first solid phase of the migration! :)
Brave had some dodgy stuff at the start with their crypto weirdness. I think there owner was involved in questionable data practices at his last company. Personally, I would expect someone running a privacy company to have integrity and not compromise on those values in previous ventures.
It's my main search in my browser, so I don't even type it. Would strongly recommend.
I think they had a contractual situation that they were navigating. They were transparent about it and resolved that situation quite quickly.
Edit: Due to using Bing as a backend. It was potentially an uncomfortable bind they found themselves in.
Definitely would agree with this. The best of a bad bunch. I use it for nearly all my search.
Did see some sketchy stuff with the android app/browser so probably would avoid... and besides, I'm in a decades long relationship with firefox <3.
Checkmate!
I hope it suceeds. As someone who uses OpenSuse Tumbleweed for a year now, I cannot recommend it enough. Solid company, and great work.
I had this issue. Clearing my browser and selecting language got it working. On Firefox though.
