nightcraw1er.488: Thanks. I think that might be one article I did look at. I use Firefox as main browser, reasonably happy with it. Epic seems pretty easy with the vpn. Suprised edge is on the list, can’t imagine anyone recommending M$ browsers for anything, chrome at least works even if it leaks all your data everywhere.
In terms of search engines, I have used start page on my main machine for years, great search. Have just switched all devices over to DuckDuckGo to avoid using google. Only really use maps and YouTube (occasionally) now, so slowly making the break. The others on there I didn’t know.
paladin181: Edge is actually a decent browser. It's based on the Chromium engine in its own right. MS could see the wind blowing and decided to bend with it. It's totally a telemetry machine; they learned from Google well there too. But as abrowser it is functional and not a bad one for typical users.
