Mullvad’s search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).
Due to g••gle messing internally with their stuff to make metasearch engines like my preferred Searx engines a lot more worse by throwing everything unrelated and also me always making sure whatever browser I use is in private mode so I don’t have to clear anything like cookies or browser history, I find it so much easier to just use them.
Also, Wikipedia. Specifically for anything like looking to see what license a software might be under, a link to said software, or maybe where a company is located. Makes my life so much easier. When I get a job in the future, I am absolutely gonna send them monthly donations.
Mullvad’s search engine ( leta(dot)mullvad(dot) net ).
Some Searx engines have mullvad’s search engine as an available source.
Oh neat, I’ll have to swap searx to use it!
My problem is that, last I checked, Searx(dot)be don’t have that turned on as a default and after a while I got tired of going into preferences and changing everything every time I open the browser. Especially when I’m clearing sire data and cookies every time I close the browser.
I am absolutely gonna set up my own instance in the future to solve this problem when I can, but until then I’ll end up sticking with the next best thing I can think of, which is Mullvad.
I have the “URL to restore your preferences in another browser” bookmarked for easy access. I wish Firefox can handle that when adding a custom search engine, but this is good enough.
