Zen & DDG. Fennec on mobile.
Dillo+ , Kristall
I don’t have favorites. Just ones that suck the least.
Brave+self-hosted SearXNG
Firefox and Duckduckgo. What else?
Firefox and kagi.
Been paying for Kagi for a few months and really like it.
Desktop browser, I bounce around and am never happy. I want to get back on Firefox, and thought I would when the latest version came out and finally added native vertical tab support, but turns out it still doesn’t have tab grouping/workspaces (saw that it’s in development but haven’t seen a timeline) so I’ve gone back to Vivaldi for now.
Librewolf / Ungoogled Chromium
Search: SearXNG, DDG
Waterfox. Firefox-based, great theme/userChrome customizations and has the Betterfox config, which is where most of Librewolf’s sane defaults come from.
idk about “favourite”, but the ones I use, which are all perfectly adequate for my needs: LibreWolf on desktop, Mull and/or Vanadium on mobile, DDG
SearXNG + Librewolf
I knew that on Lemmy someone would have commented this before me.
I tried searx for a while but, at least with the instance I used, the results were awful quality and there were a lot of reliability issues. Do you have an instance recommendation?
I don’t have any instance recommendations as I use a variety of instances categorized as vanilla
In the HTML input field:
- search
Vfor Vanilla instance: all static files comes from the SearXNG git repository.
Afterwards I go into the settings of the chosen instance and make personalized customizations. Once you’re done you can save your modifications by copying the:
Search URL of the currently saved preferences
- which is under the
COOKIESTab
By pasting that link into your Add Search Engine section of your browser of choice, you’ll be able to directly search using SearXNG!
Hope this helps improve your searching!🤗
- search
I use https://search.bus-hit.me/ but honestly searxng is best used with personalised settings.
Librewolf/Mull and Kagi.
Firefox (for now) and Kagi
I use Floorp and Startpage. I don’t trust DDG after the whole Microsoft debacle. Though, I’m not really that hot on Startpage since they use the same deceptive advertising practices as Google and Bing (disguising ads as results).
Librewolf on desktop, mull on mobile. Currently using brave search but hoping to eventually switch to searxng
hoping to eventually switch to searxng
Do it! Easily the best search engine I’ve ever used. I do recommend going through all the settings beforehand, though.
Browsers: Vivaldi on most desktops, NetSurf on 9front, Vivaldi on mobile, w3m on the command-line.
Search engines: Kagi, Brave.
