I have found a lot of websites over the last few months acting up if I'm using Firefox.

I have chrome for work and if I switch they work flawlessly. It's small things like menus not expanding or elements not loading.

There's a push on unifying browsers.

I've been Firefox and duckduckgo for years and it's getting a bit annoying. Obviously the trade off is worth it I do not want the big tech products but finding good alternatives is getting hard.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

DDG has gone downhill in recent years.

Not as much as Google though, so I've been feeling like it's been getting better and better, but it's just a comparative feeling.

To me it's worrying because it is where Google was when I jumped ship for DDG.

I am getting tailored results that I do not want. Everything I search even with location off gives me local to very local responses.

If I open a link and then go back to the results page all the results have changed order.

Makes sense. I can't blame you for taking that position. I think we need a paid search engine: if you're not paying you're the product, after all.
