since they make moeny from ads. I use Brave browser. It's built upon the open source Chromium browser, supports all ad blockers, and has privacy/anti-tracking built in.

with Chromium. Adding more friction to the process of switching to discourage people from switching.

I'm using AdGuard on Chrome, and that seems to be working fine. (Previously I'd used AdBlock and ABP with varying degrees of success.)

I can't post photos either.

Even if ads aren’t an issue.

I use Proton VPN, which also serves as an ad blocker on Chrome – works perfectly.

It’s pretty decent. I don’t like that they are now Microsoft associated. But it’s a really good search engine and browser. I never see any ads and I can (and do) turn off duck.ai. I do not use any ai.

It’s privacy focused and non-intrusive. I tried Brave, Opera, Mozilla and somehow never took to them.

The real reason I started using DDG was a deep, enduring and ineradicable hatred of Google, which my hateful former employer humps. DDG was an early Google basher. But now it is habit.

Proton also has decent privacy focused services as the user above mentioned. I switched to Protonmail a decade ago and never looked back. Again, hatred for all things Google was a prime driver.

No ads, Seems pretty secure, no ads, spyware ect..---no problems....

No Google anything!!!
