Does Mozilla (or Firefox) have a search engine?
Hi!
I’m feeling very … filtered by google or safari search engines and haven’t done any research into other search engine options, though I’ve heard other people mention other search engines that are less filtered that I didn’t remember the name of. I hadn’t even really thought of this before but someone recently talked about how all the information is out there on the Internet (which I knew, Duhr 😂) but like a pair of craftily sculpted goggles, each device, OS, search engine simply filters the results I have access to and yet, I still search using Chrome. Wtf? Can you help me? Help me snap out of my bubble?! 😂 I keep falling asleep and forgetting to find a way to be more safe (as I know I’ve been with you on my laptop for yeeears) and also be “allowed” to have access to more info in the big wide world on the Internets? 😜 Do you guys have a search engine? And/or do you guys know the direction to point me in to become a more aware and present human being on the internet who remains safe from all the bs and is also not filtered down into a granule of human pellet feed that they can dissolve into lusch and control, limit, feed off of for profit, leaving me in a vulnerable position to blackmail or destroy? LMAO! 🤣 🥹😳 Really though… I trust Firefox and have used this browser for years. For years now though, I’ve been only on my iPhone and forgot about Firefox until just now because I just “went with this”, brainlessly, on my iPhone and there are certain options one is fed when adopting the iPhone (and Firefox is definitely _not_ one of them!). Would you, could you please expand my horizons, safely with you guys? Or whatever you recommend, please? I’d be so grateful for any pointers, help, info, education that you can offer me! I’m ready to learn and adopt excellent practices and safe apps and systems, if you’re ready to help me! Thank you so much! Sincerely, Annie

Hi!
No, we don't have a search engine, but you can test out https://duckduckgo.com/ and https://www.ecosia.org/
Yeah the iPhone default browser choice screens are really unfortunate. But you can still look up Firefox in the App Store and download it from there.
You can try some of the 3rdparty search engines available that are integrated right from the start, the settings have a choice of a few, also based on the region where you're located, and new are added based on some partnerships and feedback.
I was recently e.g. trying out Qwant and Startpage.com as my search defaults.
But you're free to plug in whatever you feel is trustworthy to you. Check these help docs:
