Mmm, I really didn't know 4get, I thought it was another generic search engine like Metagear, I'll be trying it for a while, I like that you can switch between different search engines, although the design is a bit.... Bizarre haha

Some servers work, on top of that you can configure them not to use any other search engine than Google, if I want something purely Google and private I would go for Starpage.

Lately I use Brave Search, it seems to me a little better because it is even independent, if possible I would configure a SearXNG server that uses Brave's engine

I hope Lawnchair will add this as a search engine

Ironfox can be added to F-Droid with its repo haha

The same could be said of Ironfox or even Waterfox...

Chromium Vs. Gecko (f-droid.org)

I know most of the answers here, prefer Gecko over Chromium because Google is a monopoly, but honestly I would like to make the switch, the bad thing is that I still find the Firefox interface on Android old, I know it seems a bit silly to risk a little privacy for a comfortable and visually pleasing interface, but recently I saw that Chromium forks are even more secure than those using Gecko, that's why I still use Cromite

I take this opportunity to say that possibly the solution to this is WebLibre, a browser based on Gecko which is exactly what I'm looking for, unfortunately still in alpha but from what I've seen it's on the right track

Better use Seanime, it is more complete and has a web interface, it is even in the Termux repo
