I use mainly duckduckgo and only use google if duckduckgo doesn't bring up anything useable (which is far too often for me tbh). And yes I blame firefox for every mishap over the last few years like the certificate expiration, the mr robot "advertising", the cloudflare dns and so on. But I see the good things as well like trowing out avast. So I trust them more than google.

But still I will never trust something like cliqz which belongs to the media gmbh which produces Schund like die bunte.

Ps I tested the beta and the search results werent good Pps I will read the search engine articles thought
