    I know of invidious for YouTube, what do you use for google search? I would love to use another search engine but google seems to still have the most reliable results

      The most reliable for them, I’m trying to move away from Google as fast as I can:

      • Vivaldi browser,
      • DuckDuckGo / Bing
      • Next will be LineageOS…

        Vivaldi is a chrome derived browser. Using it entrenches Google power over the web.

        The manifest v3 debacle, weird “standards” like the recent Web Environment Integrity and more are only posible because Google controls most of the web clients through Blink and V8. They can make or break standards thanks to the massive amount of Chrome and Chromium related browsers, like Vivaldi, Brave, Opera, Edge, etc.

        So, glad you like Vivaldi, but you are not that far from google and are in fact an asset for their goals.

        We need Firefox alive and well. If we lose it, Google will be THE web and will control it’s foreseeable future.

        I’ve used Vivaldi and Opera, I think both are chromium browsers at this point unfortunately. I still use Firefox, but I’m sure there are other more savory, security-oriented browsers
