So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are google, bing, duckduckgo and fucking Amazon! Wtf is that about? But anyway all these search engines are pretty awful including duckduckgo but beyond that the browser scene is a joke, mullvad are about the only company I feel compatible with using now

Edit: instead of saying how easy it is to add custom search engines, I’d like to know why the “add search engine” feature in settings is gone?

    Perhaps it is easier for them to have search engines offer their services through that avenue?

    But it doesnt matter, if you go to any site that has search, all you have to do is click the + “add search engine” right in the address bar. Doesnt get much easier.

    Even sites like Shodan work.

        To you maybe. I don’t remember the URL search strings of every search engine, so the method of adding a search engine via the page of the search itself is far easier.
