What are your favorite #privacy-focused web browsers and search engines these days?

Historically, I've been a #Firefox user (I've been using it since the very beginning of the project), but every year I have more and more doubts about the long-term viability of Firefox and I'm starting to think that the ship might sinking. A world with only #Blink and #WebKit browsers will be a sad thing in my book, but it seems most people don't care about having diversity in rendering engines.

As for search - I've played a bit with #DuckDuckGo and #Kagi and they get the job done, but I'm curious what else
people enjoy and why.
