    Love the fact that even when committing to the bit about being anti-privacy they still know the internet is functionally unusable without an adblocker

    Also I’m about to say something ignorant as hell but: Isn’t a Browser the same thing as a Search Engine?

      The browser is the software to use the internet and a search engine essentially scans the entire accessible web for the words you type in to it and shows you where they are.

      Nope, Browser is the tool, the software to reach internet. Like a phone. Search Engine is more like the phone book of URL reference. And you use it with keywords

      Browser is an app on your computer

      Search engines are apps on other people’s computers that you access via a website

      Browsers are the app you click on: google chrome, firefox, Microsoft edge, safari

      Search engines are a website you go to on that app. If you type something in the top bar of your browser that is not a link, browsers will automatically enter that into a search engine.: google search, Bing, duckduckgo, ecosia, startpage
