So been moving around a lot with browsers, waterfox, librewolf and very recently degoogle chromium, figured id look at Firefox and holy theres less than half the option in setting then there were afew years back but I gotta say the biggest sin is that adding custom search engine is obfuscated, and the chooses of engines are google, bing, duckduckgo and fucking Amazon! Wtf is that about? But anyway all these search engines are pretty awful including duckduckgo but beyond that the browser scene is a joke, mullvad are about the only company I feel compatible with using now
Edit: instead of saying how easy it is to add custom search engines, I’d like to know why the “add search engine” feature in settings is gone?
Search results are generally dogshit with ddg and anyone who has tried to use it for a bit would know
No. The results are usually pretty good. And the layout of results is better and more concise.
I like it much better than Google. If I absolutely have to I can use ! and pick a different engine or even narrow down a site.
The main thing that I can’t get away from Google for is the extensive database of local results. When I need to find a business nearby, no other search engine is as accurate. This is especially true because Google has such an extensive network of people providing free information and updates about every location on earth.
