Brave is a good browser. It haves a built in ad blocker and the crypto stuff is opt-in not opt-out. Brave Search is good.

duckduckgo censored search results in 2022. Due the Russian invasion of Ukraine. It makes you think if they did once will they do it again.

If you going to use Firefox. Use a folk of it. Seeing how Mozilla is upping it's AI and advertising in Firefox. Here's some good folks, Zen, Floorp, Waterfox.

Mullvad Leta is good search. It uses the Google Search and Brave Search APIs as a proxy and caches each search for 30 days. When a user inputs a web query, the service checks if it has a cache of the search before making a call to the Google Search or Brave Search API.
