Duck Duck Go browser can set up a local VPN on your phone (doesn’t connect anywhere) that blocks the telemetry and tracking attempts before they go out.

I just got massively ratio’d by suggesting duck duck go here a week or two ago.

Do you know why people hate it? It’s my go to in all honesty.

They push ai and only proxy bing result.

Can you link me any source?

I’m not saying you’re wrong, just want to learn about it myself.

To see ai just search in ddg.

In July 2016, DuckDuckGo officially announced the extension of its partnership with Yahoo! that brought new features to all users of the search engine, including date filtering of results and additional site links. It also partners with Bing, Yandex, and Wikipedia to produce results or make use of features offered.

Bing biggest of three partner. Read also a while ago bing result very similar to ddg result.

Ohhh.

Thanks for letting me know homie!

Also the Browser is just Chrome rebrand. Get IronFox and set DDG as your search engine if you really want it.

Thanks for the info homie!

Can I ask if you’re a bigger fan of brave? I just read they use compute cycles to mine crypto.

Is that true?

Get IronFox
On it!
Brave is also a Chrome rebrand and has some sketchy history already.
Can you reconnect a browser?

DL’d for Arch.

But libre isn’t available for Android. :: sad tear::

No that’s where you use IronFox
