Browser and Search Engine (desktop, laptop, Linux, Microsoft)

What is your favorite combination and why?
I have always used Firefox for a long time and I feel safe with it. Maybe it is just my imagination.
I also have always used DuckDuckGo, which I also imagines was safe.
But Firefox has been funky lately and DuckDuck is slow.
I am now on Microsoft Edge which I do NOT trust. I find it very annoying all the things it always wanting me to do. I like to keep things simple and familiar. But it is snappy.
I also now use Bling which also I don't trust. I feel it pushes too many sponsored sites when seraching.

I use Chrome and Google on my desktop and laptop, and Opera/DuckDuckGo on my phone. I used to use Opera on my desktop and laptop but it started being wonky so I switched back to Chrome.

Haven't used Firefox in years. It started being really wonky and I didn't want to deal with it. Thankfully Microsoft is no longer required by many sites, especially government. Remember that? I don't like Edge either. It's strange and so is Bing.

After using Chrome for well over a decade, I have switched to Firefox. Chrome is such a memory hog now.

I use different search engines based on what I'm searching. Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing (ChatGPT).

Edge and Chrome are the same under the hood. Sites should work the same on them more or less.

Whatever browser comes with whatever I’m using, and I’ve never abandoned yahoo. Google has always been off-putting to me, but it’s really because yahoo was there first.

I sue Firefox and DuckDuckGo, and have for some time. I am getting tired of Firefox's constant updates, especially those that change the settings it took me a long time to find and change. I sometimes switch to google for searching because DDG occasionally seems to fixate on a line of suggestions that are not helpful.

I use Firefox on all my devices (Linux, Mac, iPhone), and Qwant or DDG for searching.
