EDIIT :

Apparently, there is an issue with the warning request to disable the ad blocker

I use Fennec F-Droid and Cromite, and I don't see this issue.

to get around the adblocker warning, use this link.

Well, isn't that a shock. What I want to see is 💯 of web searchers avoiding Google.

I love how that article calls normal search results "old-school." Hate this timeline

DuckDuckGo fucking sucks...

Can't even get half of the search results I wanted, their search assistant thing breaks some of the time which is just wasting space, their maps provided by Apple is garbage .etc

I don't get the hype.

I made a video on Google alternatives a month or so ago. There are chapters in the description if you want info but don't want to watch.
