I currently use Firefox and DuckDuckGo, but I’m thinking about getting a new browser and search engine. Are there any good recommendations. Privacy-focused is non-negotiable, and i would like it to be open source.

I have heard of Ecosia. How exactly do they work? If they truly do help the environment, like they claim, I may look into that. Is there any evidence? Looking into their privacy policy, it doesn’t seem too optimal.

    I switched from chrome to Vivaldi at first. Then I discovered Zen, which is probably still in beta although it works very well. I use one on my laptop and the other on my work pc. The most notable difference in day to day use is that Zen only shows tabs in a column on the left of the page. There’s no option right now to show them horizontally as you would be used with any other browser.

    All in all they both work well preferring to the other is gonna be pretty subjective. Just try them out ;-)

      Zen is an interpretation of Arch in Firefox, but it’s become more than that. I really enjoy using it, both practically and aesthetically
