Honest question. What's wrong with chromium? I understand why google/ms and other corpo flavours are bad, but why is base chromium bad

One big life-changing thing will be something like Manifest V3, limiting ad-blockers capabilities. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2021/12/chrome-users-beware-manifest-v3-deceitful-and-threatening

Rules for thee and not for me kind of stance when it comes to who is collecting all the sweet data from its users.

I mean what could possibly go wrong if the biggest data collector and ad provider has a monopoly on web browser?

And people still support and use Google search so the monster just continues growing.

I guess we get what we deserve as a species.

I've tried to move away from Google search so many times but honestly it's just too convenient..

Startpage Google results without Google tracking

I started using Startpage it takes Google searches and gives it to the user anonymously. The results are quite good because it's essential Google results.

@pingu @BrokenToshy, Startpage is my secondary search engine, mainly for images, the other secondary most used is Mojeek, but my main and first search is Andisearch (AI) with unique features and one of the most private search engine out there

Just tried it a bit, and it seems good, the summary on the left and the website on the right is a great UI (my preferences). I will test/try it for daily use and see if it can handle my often complicated problems…

@pingu, normally it solves it very well, in all the time that I use it it has given me good and reliable answers. On very few occasions it failed with any expression, but then it offers a direct search on the net.
