A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.

- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience

To add a new search engine, you are supposed to be able to just visit that search engine's website and manually search for anything, then that site will appear as an option in the list under
Settings > Search engine > Recently visited. I just added Ecosia this way to test this feature, but I cannot get this to work with DuckDuckGo (No AI). I assume that is because the regular DuckDuckGo is already an option in the list, so it's not adding a new search engine that is just a sub domain of that existing option. Unfortunately, I cannot find a way to add it manually.
