I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is there a better alternative or is DDG still the best ? Would appreciate if the search ingine came with firefox and i don’t have to jump through hoops to use it. I moved the post from ask lemmy to here .And also i deleted the post from ask lemmy because i thought it wasn’t the appropriate sub (i know should’ve thought of that before posting )

    I like Mojeek. It even has an option to search without using locational data, which is something that’s important to me.

    I’m pretty sure I was able to just go to mojeek.com, right click the address bar, and add it to Firefox. I didn’t need an add-on or anything like that.

        Yep, and while you’re in there, you can also remove any of the default search engines to reduce clutter.

        Not that this will convince you, but worth noting that Mojeek also has a Lemmy presence: @Mojeek@lemmy.ml
