My current browser is DuckDuckGo because I like to use it to protect my privacy on the Web.

I heard word about Vivaldi being a popular browser for Fediverse users but I never tried it.

I’m not sure which one is necessarily better.

    Firefox and its derivatives are the only browsers that challenge Google’s monopoly on browser engines and prevent them from making unilateral changes to all web browsers based on them, including Vivaldi. DuckDuckGo is a good search engine though.

      Welllll I mean technically webkit is totally separate from chromes blink fork for the last several years. I.e. browers like safari and gnome’s epiphany. That said, safari is mac/iOS only and epiphany sucks ass so…

        Fair enough. GNOME Web is the only cross platform non Blink or Gecko browser, and like you say it has flaws compared to those two, such as lack of extension support.

          And somehow breaking even more sites than safari; missing many modern features

      Duck gets results from bing. I honestly had to switch to Searx. Can’t stand not finding stuff anymore

          I know but it’s more private by a lot. Duck is an aggregator and bad at giving results

        Why do people always say they switched to SearXNG and then never post the instance they use? Not everyone wants to self host a damn search engine.

          Because you can searx for the version you like most…

            So? Maybe help others find an instance instead of making it sound like some special club that only privileged people can access because they know how to find the right instance.
