Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

Duckdickgo and startpage just anonymize Bing/Google search results. They aren't trying to be their own things, and thats ok.

    That would be ok if it wasn’t a lie.

    Which for duck it definitely was for years, and considering they still have a long term deal with microsoft, still is.

    I have another reply in this thread somewhere that lists my sources.

    But here is another I hadn’t listed. (Source used by Wikipedia)

    “One of the bigger customers that is unaffected for now is the search engine DuckDuckGo, company spokesperson Kamyl Bazbaz confirmed to WIRED. “They're retiring the self-serve version,” Bazbaz says. Brown says Brave's understanding is that companies that have inked private and long-term deals with Microsoft will maintain access to the APIs.”

    Just ask yourself, what does Microsoft get out of it? If for the first decade at least it contractually includes free passage from bing and linkedin trackers.
