Current search engine: Microsoft Bing because I current use Edge on my Windows computers.

Otherwise, on Linux I use DuckDuckGo on Mozilla Firefox though Edge is on Linux as well.

    I do wonder why anyone would use Edge on Linux. I even wonder why anyone would even use Edge. Btw DDG uses Bing so you use the same search engine.

      Because corporate IT requires chrome or edge, and edge is the lesser of the two evils for now

        I am not so sure about that. DDG has been caught tracking before. I wouldn’t trust them. They are also getting into AI bs.

          They are also getting into AI bs.

          None of their AI features compromise on user privacy and all can be disabled in settings.

        DDG have made their core product bad.

        They skipped through the genuinely useful and appreciated straight to garbage features and privacy concerns waaaay quicker than firefox.

      I’ve been running Linux on all my computers for literally decades. But I’ve just started an online course and the college requires Edge — not Chromium, must be Edge. Yes, I’ve changed useragent, only Edge will work. Grrrr.
