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.
Why aren’t we all using YaCy?

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
Btw DDG uses Bing so you use the same search engine.
… But DDG has additional privacy features, etc.
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.

None of their AI features compromise on user privacy and all can be disabled in settings.
Yeah who cares. They got caught tracking and that is still a fact.
Could you provide a source for this claim? Not doubting you but I haven’t seen it.
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.
For search engines, this is an interesting list: A look at search engines with their own indexes. It doesn’t cover every possible Bing frontend, but it gives you some idea of where else to try if your default search engine gives you nothing.
As for web browsers, a short practical list broken down by rendering engine looks like this:
- Webkit-based: Safari
- Blink-based: Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, Opera
- Gecko-based: Firefox, LibreWolf, Tor Browser
- Goanna-based: Pale Moon
Those are all under active development.
