kristophr<p>I have been using <a href="https://the-gathering.space/tags/vivaldi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vivaldi</span></a> for about a week now and I enjoy it.

ALT43<p>Después de probar muchos motores de búsqueda; en estos momentos estoy utilizando tanto Startpage como Qwant. Por respeto a la privacidad, indexación honesta y ausencia de publicidad encubierta. Startpage se financia con "publicidad contextual", concepto explicado en su propia web. Mientras que Qwant tiene un acuerdo con MS SÓLO cuando has iniciado sesión en tu cuenta. Hay otros buscadores como Mojeek que también son claros y respetuosos, pero los resultados no acompañan.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Startpage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Startpage</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/qwant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qwant</span></a></p>
