Just get any firefox fork that doesn't come with billion telemetry pings on it's first launch and new tab page, and that cuts out the rotting cancer that is pocket and recommended extensions, and doesn't ship with telemetry and studies enabled out of the box. LibreWolf and Mullvad are good options for desktop, while Mull is a good option for mobile. As for a search engine I think SearchXNG is peak, but it's self hosting and too much autism for most people, while something like Startpage/Mojeek would be a superior alternative to slop like DDG

>Presearch.
It says it’s open source and decentralized.
But analytics and other “advanced features” are apparently locked behind some kind of crypto paywall?
How does lockin features behind a decentralized paywall work?
Is it all just shared gatekeeping protocols?
What would happen if you did something like mirroring the analytics for free?
Does the presearch police come after you?
What happens if you try to fork it?
Where does the data go?
A lot of other crypto/blockchain projects started out decentralized but then slowly centralized over time, would presearch be vulnerable to that as well?
Just how “private” is it actually?

Seems like a neat idea and very scalable, but it leaves me with a lot of questions.

It's a browser for protection from advertisers, knowing that no browser is perfect these days. Swiss cheese security. No more than that, no one is 100% safe online.
Just don't use it for protection against the government and don't do anything that the government might pay attention to with it
And if you're going to end up on a list for something use a more robust setup not meant for daily consumerism

I use FireFox because it has add-ons that Chrome doesn't. I tried DuckDuckGo for a moment, but am back to Google as my search engine. I used to recommend Google over Bing, and have found that some of the lesser known search engines do a better job of finding stuff than Google does now.

But there was a time where I used both FireFox and DuckDuckGo at the same time and I have only ever had 1 or 2 cans of Monster to drink in my entire life. I try to stay away from energy drinks and blacked porn is disgusting.
