The only downside to using Firefox on Android is that Google search results can take forever to load unless you clear site cookies. And Google Image search is awful.
However that’s all fixed if you use Duck Duck Go instead.
You shouldn’t use Google anyway. Honestly, fuck Google and their surveillance ecosystem. If you want Google search results, try Startpage, it’s a meta search engine for Google. Whoogle is also an option, it’s essentially a proxy for Google searches. But for me, DuckDuckGo’s results are totally fine, I’m able to find anything I need.
i believe that’s all fixed if you install the Google Search Fixer, or at least ive never had problems using google search on firefox android after installing that
I believe that it’s also fixed by just using DuckDuckGo. Fuck Google, if you want Google search results, try Startpage, it’s a meta search engine for Google.

or use bing, I’ve switched to bing recently and it’s be come an overall. more enjoyable experience. Of course, using something like Duck Duck go instead of using a big company alternative is better in any case.
Why would you use Bing except for the AI features which are only available on Edge anyway? At that point, why not use DuckDuckGo? It will give you the exact same search results as Bing without invading your privacy and selling your data.

+1 for duckduckgo. Google is mostly ads nowadays
Ads and tracking. And censorship.

Or Kagi. I couldn’t do DDG but Kagi was good enough for me to finally switch off of Google.

Does Duckduckgo uses bing’s search engine?
Either way, just switched. Thanks!
Yes, it pulls in the search results from Bing.
ah, wonderful, thank you!
