There was a thread about this earlier last month. I believe from @GOYABEAN
@Dr. Evil referred me to Brave, which I now use as my search engine.

Fuck the pinko commies. I have dropped and boycotted much in the last 5 yrs. That list is getting rather lengthy.

The Brave browser is built on the open-source Chromium code by Google. Open-source means anyone can use the source code and piggy-back on top of it to build whatever they want. Brave supports the huge library of extensions available in the Google Chrome web store.

For crying out loud!

this is more that "speech policing" it is rewriting history
‘This speech-policing is profoundly clumsy, creepy and wrong, often reinforcing bias.’

Switched to Startpage too.

Use Brave on their built in Tor page.

Been using the Tor browser more and more - supposedly it's completely anonymous.

It's a bit clunky, but works - not many "bells & whistles".

Everything is pumped through ProtonVPN also.

Open source means the full source code is publicly available, and typically is widely scrutinized.

It's a pretty good indicator that there's nothing sketchy going on under the hood.
