I’ve been trying to find a good privacy respecting browser, but I can’t really decide on what to use. I don’t like the search results with Brave Search. DuckDuckGo shares my information with Microsoft and SearchXNG shows me NSFW images even with strict search on. I really like Presearch, but I’m not really sure what they’re about.
Another $10 subscription just to browse the web… I don’t think it’s for me.
My issue is not payment itself, but rather tying all my searches to a single identity. While it seems like they resolved the issue of only accepting KYC (although the only crypto accepted is Bitcoin, which has bigger fees than Monero as well as privacy issues, and to my understanding, Lightning is harder to self-custody), the absolute linkability remains.
You pay with money or privacy, but pay you must. 😉
If you pay for privacy, other than a vpn provider, you are a victim already
SearXNG seems to be free and private, checkmate!
you’re still paying for server fees and free labor from the developers
