Likewise. I used Bing briefly, reasoning that Microsoft at least does not pretend to be a friendly upstart (and that their business model does not involve milking and selling your personal data), with no negative consequences (such as missed search results etc).

Then I discovered DDG and never looked back.

Dillo
Dooble
Hell...anything no matter how antiquated is better than being herded into the chromium/google corral ..

(It isn't that I don't "like" google / chromium..
I use it only when it is a "have no choice for a specific usecase"... Because I just don't like being herded to an inevitable "only 1 game in town option")

If you help me to update certs to Dooble and make it work I will suely change to that. It is just that this chromium 57 can do things I am not et been able to do with anything else.

That is the point Maemish.
updating the certs for Dooble will not help make it competitive against chromium ...at the fundamental level.
There needs to be a competitive browser that can go toe to toe with chromium / google... and do all that it can ...so that folks have a privacy and security based option instead.
This is an ever increasing and alarming issue that goes beyond our n900's
