    I would go with Ecosia. Brave is a shady company that very recently got in another scandal. DuckDuckGo results are not good. And Ecosia also has a cool business approach of planting trees, that is if you disable your adblocker for them and let them display ads.

    However, if you are technical enough to run your own searx instance, then that is gonna be the best when it comes to privacy.

    It’s simple, if everybody were to get rewarded the same no matter how hard or how little they worked, then everyone would put the bare minimum, or even worse, not do anything at all, and there would be no productivity in society. That is when the “government” which theoretically should not even exist in communism but in practice is impossible, would step in and force labor, as we saw for example with the Soviet Union.







  • What you are referring to is called a threat model. Everyone’s threat model is different. Edge is still significantly better than using Chrome or Opera in my opinion, especially on Windows because Microsoft already has your data at the OS level so using a different browser does not make a huge difference anyways , unless you use very hardened Firefox with fingerprinting resistance and a whole bunch of other settings which just improves your browsing privacy but Microsoft will still have your data. In my opinion, for the average threat model, Edge with the strict privacy setting, telemetry turned off, and Ublock origin installed is more than adequate.
