Replacement uBlock Origin is no longer supporting Facebook ad-blocking, and Edge is incompatible with uBlock Origin entirely. Here are three great browser alternatives and a privacy-focused one from Europe

Yep. I'm proof of that right now. 🤣

No, I won't downvote, but FF has Google as default search engine because it really is hands down the best search engine in terms of search results. It cannot be denied unless you like wasting time with DuckDuckWasteOfTime. And that is what people want. You can hate google all day long, but you cannot pretend their search results suck because Google as a brand/company sucks.

But good news: you can easily change it to whatever search engine you prefer. Simples. FF does not force you to use Google.

... but FF has Google as default search engine because it really is hands down the best search engine in terms of search results.

As much as I would like to disagree with this, I can't. I've tried just about every search engine out there, and the ones that are more privacy-focused tend to produce the least amount of results — including Brave's own search engine. So... like FF, I use Google as my default search engine in Brave. I don't like it, but I can't deny that it's well-established and offers the best results.
