Startpage was bought out by advertising company System1

EDIT
Qwant seems decent
a lot of claims Duckduckgo has morphed into being a frontend for Bing
SearXNG (updated replacement for SearX) gets good reviews, but have to be prepared to hop instances as Google blocks them
- Random SearX Redirector
Kagi is a subscription service that people seem to love

Enjoy exploring! Hope you find it to be a good experience

Eventually you might find that you're coming back to the PrivacyGuides.org page, that's what most people recommend these days as a starting point for recommended tools. There are a lot of companies out there advertising privacy and security without actually PROVIDING privacy and security. It's becoming a new buzzword

https://www.privacyguides.org/en/

You don't have to take my word for it though, just keep exploring and learning :)

PrivacyGuides recommends Brave...

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The specific breakdown was as follows

We recommend Mullvad Browser if you are focused on strong privacy protections and anti-fingerprinting out of the box, Firefox for casual internet browsers looking for a good alternative to Google Chrome, and Brave if you need Chromium browser compatibility.

So I think they only recommend Brave for those that need Chromium

For mobile browsers, I don't quite understand the differences between each. I personally use Mull when I need it, but Brave might be better on Mobile still?
