Pinephone and other 'linux' based phones are promising but still has much more work to do on both hardware and software side.

For privacy, i think GNU icecat is probably the best one next to Tor. You shouldnt trust anything Chromium based…period. Open source Chromium still phones home to google. Ungoogled chromium is the only one i would consider. Icecat is always current with the lastest Firefox esr release but you have to build the browser from source. Im on Gentoo Linux so its not a problem as Icecat is readily available in an overlay. Despite what online reviews say, Firefox may be slower than other browsers are but the forks with telemetry removed/disabled are quite snappy, especially when compiled with pgo and lto optimizations. In my opinion, if you cant build it from source, you shouldnt install it. For me, propietary software such as steam gets installed in a chroot. You should not trust a propietary web browser period.
Its fine browser, I use it personally. I would install ublock origin and privacy badger to harden the browser. Vivaldi is mixed open source and proprietary. Vivaldi does not sell your data to anyone from what I know.

As he suggested Brave browser I don't bother watching the rest. Epic fail
He does state that they've done some sketchy stuff, for what it's worth.
wow,, man, this is not the way. MO didn't say this is the only trusted browser. He just said that using brave improves your privacy level. If you are chromium user, installing Brave will be much better. Yet everyone knows that Brave was caught in some sketchy thing. Privacy is not like flipping a switch - and now you are golden. Every little step makes your privacy better.
Clearly the person who did the down vote, is a windows or mac user.
duck duckgo is garbage. Just look at the name of the owner. Those in the know already know what it will be.
I was suspicious about its name as well, but ultimately decided to make the switch and frankly, I haven't looked back ever since. The occasions when I really need a search result from Google are little to none. I even use Duck as the default search engine on my Android phone these days.
@@marioschroers7318 seems like startpage is much better but its also been around a long time so might be compromised by now. I wonder if anyone has made a browser/search engine that utilizes customizable proxy layers. Id like to see that as an open source project.
anyone know of any open source tor-like projects? Tor is old and comprmised from the get go, theres gotta be at least some research papers on an uncomprimisable onion network
@@dreamy97836 Indeed. I misread that. But how is that relevant?
@@marioschroers7318 let's just say he belongs to a group that has a bad track record
ff shills in the comments after mozilla dumps its staff :thinking:
Go woke go broke bruh
I'm curious as to why Searx is better for privacy. If it indexes other searches like Google doesn't that mean your search query is getting sent to Google and logged like usual anyway?
It isn't linked to you it's anonymous, like they don't know which ip it comes from.
After using Brave and Ungoogled Chromium for the last two years, I've switched to LibreFox.
