I've seen a lot of discourse over which browsers we use and I myself have made the switch from brave to firefox. I still use brave as my search engine though, so... which do yall recommend? Is brave's engine necessarily bad to use? I personally like its ui/theme.

Oh shit, hey! Been a bit since I've said this but I'm happy to answer. I'll admit I don't remember exactly where, but I had asked about a privacy respecting independant search engine in a few matrix chats and separately did a bit of searching on startpage. It's likely one of those two places I first found it but word of mouth through matrix is what convinced me to use it

I've been liking the service btw, I think you guys are doing something fantastic
