FedSearch - Federated network search engine

The default browser mostly gets used to open links received via email or messaging. The other one has all my bookmarks and is mostly used for sites where I have accounts.

Both browsers disable password capture (I use a password wallet), most 3rd party services for telemetry and auto-suggest. I use uBlock Origin for ad blocking (in a mostly default configuration), and Duckduckgo as the default search engine.

My default browser (Brave) is set to delete all browsing data upon exit. All cookies, all storage, all cache, passwords, everything.

My other browser (Firefox) is set to delete all data on exit, with opt-in exceptions to allow cookies and data from origins where I have important accounts, or where persisting state is particularly convenient (I add them as I like). This browser is where I keep all my bookmarks. For sites that I log into, I tend to use this browser (but its not terrible if I use the other one, I just have to go through the "we've never seen that device before" hoops).

A nice side effect: if a site asks me whether I accept cookies, I really don't care, since they get tossed when I exit, and I exit often. I don't tend to keep lots of tabs open - I rely on bookmarks to go back to where I want. The browser will privately auto-suggest from my bookmarks even if no 3rd party auto-suggest service is enabled.

It seems to work for me. YMMV.
