Can we update Firefox search engine options to include Startpage? Other browsers already have this & would make it a lot easier to use on my phone.

Mozilla should give Firefox users more options to default their favourite search engine, including Mojeek as well as Startpage.

 

It is about time that Mozilla makes its browser more diverse.

Yeah It would nice to have startpage and Brave search too by default.

I also would love to see Startpage, among other privacy-focused search engines, introduced as default search engines. For a browser that values privacy, it's odd that Startpage isn't already an option.

Add Ecosia along with it and I'm in!
