I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is there a better alternative or is DDG still the best ? Would appreciate if the search ingine came with firefox and i don’t have to jump through hoops to use it. I moved the post from ask lemmy to here .And also i deleted the post from ask lemmy because i thought it wasn’t the appropriate sub (i know should’ve thought of that before posting )
I like Mojeek. It even has an option to search without using locational data, which is something that’s important to me.
I’m pretty sure I was able to just go to mojeek.com, right click the address bar, and add it to Firefox. I didn’t need an add-on or anything like that.
Yeah its in the options of search engine provided by firefox . Can someone back this guy up or disagree with him ?
Not that this will convince you, but worth noting that Mojeek also has a Lemmy presence: @Mojeek@lemmy.ml
It is kinda convincing me
howdy 👋
Uh if i may ask do you guys guarantee privacy and security without any hidden catches .
EDIT: I have decided to stick eith you guys for the time being.
no hidden catches no
Ok thanks
yup. then also go into firefox settings to change your search default if you want…

Yep, and while you’re in there, you can also remove any of the default search engines to reduce clutter.
