Consider making Presearch a default search engine option for Firefox

[Mammal]

Hi,

Presearch aims to become the first decentralised search engine that both rewards its users and respects their privacy, as opposed to Google.

In 2021 Google was required to make Presearch a default option for all new Android devices in Europe and the UK to break its monopoly.

Would Mozilla also consider making Presearch a default option for Firefox?

Thanks

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Been using Presearch for a couple of years. They have the best privacy and security plan of any search engine. Many new developments every month. What they have accomplished so far is remarkable for the future of search. Excited for the future.

Add Presearch as the default search engine

With Google, Bing, and DuckDuckGo curating users of Firefox are not always getting quality search results. Additionally, these big tech companies are cross-site tracking users and collecting your search queries building a profile on all users. They can sell your data or give to governments infringing on your privacy.

presearch.com fixes these issues with decentralized search queries, privacy, and better search results.

This is a great idea, Presearch is the only truly decentralized search engine out there, it's powered by people's home computers , RasPis or rented VPS'. The best thing about it is that they're building their own decentralized index / crawler and will be completely independent from Google ...also the fact that their CTO literally wrote the book on AI powered search engines, helps a bit😉

Presearch has not only the best freedom loving search engine (more like a VPN for search engines until they get their own crawler running) but the community are some of the nicest people I have ever met in any online forum.  They truly care and do a great job for the resources they have.  This company truly is the answer to solving the problem of online privacy when it comes to your search data.  I vote for adding them as a search choice and an official tech partner for Firefox. 

Privacy is the foundation of freedom and no search engine does it better than Presearch.com

Would probably be a good addition, large user-base too.

Presearch is one of the best search engines I have ever used.  It's like a VPN for search engines.  Privacy is the foundation to freedom and Presearch.com is the best I have found.  I highly recommend making Presearch a default search option and a Mozilla tech partner.  The Presearch team and community are the best group of people I have ever found online and I have never been ignored or left hanging when I have a problem.  For a small team that says a lot.  Once the word gets out they will be the go to search choice.  Just ask ChatGPT who the number one competitor to Google is.  ChatGPT knows what's up.   #presearchit

Presearch is a Decentralized Search Engine

Search privately, receive better results and get rewarded with the Presearch decentralized search engine, powered by blockchain technology.

This is a great idea.  Presearch is one of the best, if not THE best, search engines out there -- the best for privacy and with better results than Bing or DuckDuckGo.  Just a matter of time before it takes off... once the word gets out.

I have been using Presearch from 2020 and I find it very secure and does not track my searches. It would be great to use my favorite search engine 'Presearch' with my favorite browser Firefox.

Presearch would be a great addition to Firefox!

Gold - Make Presearch the default search engine for Firefox.

Silver - Add Presearch as a default selectable search engine option. Bifurcate the Firefox default mode search engine from the Private mode and use Presearch as default for private mode. This is a Happy medium since Mozilla is being paid by Google to be the default search engine. Could maintain that on regular mode and make private mode search be through Presearch.

Bronze - Add Presearch as a default selectable search engine option.

I don't know how to add tags just trying to add privacy, and privacy and security as I believe both a a crucial selling point to adding Presearch as the default search engine.
