Browser: Firefox because I can download its source code, use it, inspect, modify and share. All of these 4 freedoms make Firefox free, as in freedom. ~~Brave is non-free (closed source and not contributing to software freedom)~~.
I use Qwant (unfortunately, it only works in the EU) and site-local search (Wikipedia, ArchWiki, etc.)
All web search engines are crap, honestly. Maybe Kagi makes better, idk.
EDIT: Brave is free, apparently.
Qwant works just fine in the US
Could you please elaborate why Brave isn't open source? The source code is on github and there's even an Brave-Git package in the AUR.
Ok, it seems I've been wrong. Apologies.
