@Tutanota perfect 81 % of tuta user use US search engine,

DDG (Microsoft server), Brave (Amazon server), Startpage (Amazon server), Ecosia.org (Cloudflare server), Kagi (Google Cloud server)

Only mojeek (UK) and qwant (FR) are not US so avoid those US crap.

@Mojeek @Qwant #duckduckgo #brave @StartpageSearch @ecosia @kagihq #eu #sovereinty

Which one is yours?

#browsers #brave #chrome #vivaldi #safari #edge #greenland

@Tutanota Still your list is incomplete. Makes me a sad macaroni. Now be a #Brave Browser and include Proton Mail and Proton Drive in your list.

Brave overhauled its Rust adblock engine with FlatBuffers, cutting memory 75%

I still can't believe #Brave is a thing. There apparently are just people out there who are like "I'm frustrated by the corporate bullshit in Chrome, so I think I'll try this crypto scam made by a homophobe"

Nobody wants skinny scroll bars.

How to add DuckDuckGo (noai) to Google Chrome and Brave

(Also, see my similar post about doing this for Vivaldi - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725021729571844, and for Firefox - https://infosec.exchange/@scottwilson/115725250696632578)

If you prefer an AI-free DuckDuckGo Search experience, you can use noai.duckduckgo.com instead of on duckduckgo.com. Searching on noai.duckduckgo.com works the same as search on duckduckgo.com, except all AI features are turned off and AI-generated images are filtered out of results by default.

NOTE: Truly, for better privacy, consider switching to Firefox, LibreWolf, Vivaldi, Brave, or Tor.

1. In Google Chrome or Brave, go to Settings, then Search Engines.

2. Click "Manage search engines and site search".

3. Scroll down to the "Site search" section, and lick the "Add" button.

4. Give it a meaningful name and nickname, and add "https://noai.duckduckgo.com/search?q=%25s" in the URL field.

5. Click "Add", then scroll up a little to the "Search engines" section. Find your new entry, click the three dots next to it, and select "Default" to make this the default search engine.

6. Exit Settings.

@sarahjamielewis not sure whether #firefox forks like in @iode's #iodéOS can also offer "AI disable by default" or remove any #AI code, but it seems a legitimite way to go. Also, it will be an #EU country to handle such modifications. #France #digitalsouvereignity

iodé browser is based on Firefox with #telemetry disabled, trackers removed, and alternative search engines: #Qwant (default), #Brave, #Ecosia, #Metager, Qwant light, #Startpage and several #Searx instances.

So #Kagi is now partnering with #Brave, i.e. the company of Brendan Eich, who has been CEO at Mozilla for eleven days before he had to leave due to massive criticism of his homophobic views. Brave's most well-known product is a browser with its own cryptocurrency, co-designed by Eich.

A feedback post asking Kagi to reconsider has been closed by Kagi's founder Vladimir Prelovac because "Considering company x founder political views is not a factor in [their] evaluation".

Nach 4 Monaten mit dem #Brave Browser, habe ich nun ruebergemacht... @Vivaldi ist ja mal sowas von grossartig!

Ich haette da schon viel frueher auf @DonDahlmann hoeren sollen. Bin hin und weg und liebe gerade wirklich alles daran!
