Yes, Duckduckgo is probably the best option for search at this point. They have a good balance of privacy versus accuracy, and I often get better results from DDG than Google for general search.
use an adblock, thats the most effective thing you can do. ublock origin on any browser. pay the creators you enjoy most directly. stop making them beholden to ad platforms. direct payment allows them to switch platforms and be nimble.
Dissenter has built in ad-blocking and privacy features, as it's built on top of Brave. The ability to overlay a comment section on top of any webpage, enabling real-time public scrutiny of the news as well as ad-blocking and privacy features, would help rob big-tech of data, ads, and narrative control. It's brilliant, if we could only get people to switch. Unfortunately, as a movement we are about as organized as a herd of cats and nobody seems to to see the big picture. I've been on TD 5 years and we still have done zero work in building alternative infrastructure outside of our own community. It's like we're trying to lose the culture war.
i want them to bring back dissenter as an extension.(its possible with developer mode which i think is easy enough to enable with a guide.) the browser itself has not been updated since they released it. its running on a year old fork of brave browser. browser updates are generally to plug security holes. i like gab. i like dissenter as a tool. its a shitty browser.
True, you can still download and install the dissenter extension on Brave - but not through the Google Chrome app-store. They have also removed the link to download it on gab. Major oversight in my opinion. Once more people get on Gab and they stabilize their services, hopefully Torba will address this issue with his growing audience. I would write a guide on how to do this, but it would probably die in new.
Is duck duck go still a good option? I just recently switched to it.

Appreciate the response brother, thanks.
