Firefox + Ublock & Privacy Badger, on desktop and mobile. I also use Blokada on Android. This combination stops most ads, and if a few sneak through it is easy to create a custom rule.

While I still find Google useful, especially Google Scholar, I've primarily moved to DuckDuckGo for most casual searches.

It’s a band-aid. Just let Google slowly die, it’s already time when you should pull the plug – the patient is brain-dead for several years and there is no hope.

Use DuckDuckGo it’s a lot better with relevant search results and privacy friendly.

Do you find a advantage of privacy badger vs blocking all third party cookies? I just dump my full cache everytime I close Firefox.
