Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social Ecosia because sustainability ist just as important as security and privacy.
That's why Tuta is the best of both worlds π±π
@repost@mastodon.social We're doing our best to bridge sustainability and security. π³ π
@Tutanota@mastodon.social My favourite search engine is @brave@mastodon.social, but I also like @Qwant@mastodon.social
@Tutanota@mastodon.social kagi.com

I like DuckDuckGo. I know it heavily uses Bing. But I find itβs a decent trade off since they scrape all the garbage out of the other search engines.
I tried Mojeek but I found it unreliable at least for searches in the US, where I live.
@Tutanota@mastodon.social (and Mojeek)
@Tutanota@mastodon.social definintelly not the one who's name starts with g and end with e
@Tutanota@mastodon.social I really like @Mojeek@mastodon.social tbh but I'd say I get good results less than 50% of the time. I try to give feedback to help whenever I can. I love their "focus" feature.
I also realised we sometimes know on which site we want to search so I created a bunch of alias to different websites and I use them. If I want something about public services for example, I have a shortcut to search on the governmental website of my country.

I use Ecosia.

@Tutanota I have been using Brave Search for some time now and I'm really happy with it. There is this opt out telemetry and a little bit too much AI. But you can disable it and the Code LLM is pretty useful sometimes.

@Tutanota@mastodon.social I use @MetaGer@suma-ev.social π€π»
@Tutanota@mastodon.social Selfhosted SearXNG, because i like different results from many engines in a clean UI. Many SearXNG public instances are limited in primetime, so i decided to selfhost for my family and me.
@Tutanota@mastodon.social #duckduckgo π¦
@Tutanota@mastodon.social I simply β€οΈ @MetaGer@suma-ev.social because you cannot see any tracker on ublock origin and the anonymous proxy is really cool. Their search results are really good!
@iosc@mastodon.social @MetaGer@suma-ev.social MetaGer is great!
