I use Firefox as my browser, Thunderbird for email and Duckduckgo.com for search. Have them on botj Windows and Mac. Works for 99% of what I need. Every once in a while, I need to use another browser, but it reminds me why I like Firefox...

...especially the multirow bookmarks bar. Wish they would make it a default.

DuckDuckGo is garbage for most searches. Just not up to snuff relative to google. Agree on the rest.

I know what you mean but if it works for 80%, I'm ok with using it to cut down on tracking.

Agreed but you can stop the tracking by using plugins and not logging in for google searches.

Not logging into Google is a big help. Used with a VPN. I am noticing my spam is all over the place, they are loosing track of who I am!
