@whale For me it works 🤷‍♂️
(tested with hardened Brave and Mull (hardened Firefox for Android Fork))


@sj_zero Just wanted to share this information, is not a recommendation which search engine you should use. Not everyone feel comfortable with using a search engine which is closed source and owned by a company, some rather wanna use a opensource search engine hosted by a invidual or a group of people, some other people prefer search engines like DuckDuckGo since they work put of the box without problems and have usually a better usability for the modt people, then SearX (or SearXNG) does.


Did you know…?
Did you know..? DuckDuckGo has two non-javascript versions of their search engine and both of them are very lightweight, especially the lite version. You can access them via: Html: [https://html.duckduckgo.com/html](https://html.duckduckgo.com/html) Lite: [https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite](https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite) [\#privacy](https://infosec.exchange/tags/privacy) [#duckduckgo](https://infosec.exchange/tags/duckduckgo) [#dgg](https://infosec.exchange/tags/dgg) [#searchengine](https://infosec.exchange/tags/searchengine) [@privacyguides](https://lemmy.one/c/privacyguides)

@smeg You basically missread the article and it basically says, what I already mentioned and the extension is completly opensource I even checked the code myself. 🤦‍♂️


@smeg It seems like you miss the technical knowledge. Let me explain. Bad for security; this extension is so simply made there is basically nothing you could rly exploit and the only thing this extension is able to manage ur other extensions not more. Bad for privacy; it’s not since not every extension can be fingerprinting, only extensions which modify or do things related to the site you access. Websites don’t have by default access to the extensions you have installed.


@LiveLM I agree, I think more privacy extensions should be avaible for both, Chromium and Firefox.


@mrclark @privacyguides @privacy The extension literally can monitor itself 💀 and you can use something like Portmaster.


Little Rat - a browser extension for monitoring other extensions
Little Rat - a browser extension for monitoring other extensions "Little Rat is an open-source extension designed for network traffic monitoring. Easily view, monitor, and block traffic from other Chrome extensions on a per-extension basis." I use it myself and I think it's a very useful extension for everyone who uses more than just few extensions for different purposes and don't fully trust them that they send no data as the developer promises, this extension can monitor the network and act as a firewall per-extension basis.
