Browser I’ve been using Librewolf for over a year.
Helium also looks promising for a browser but it’s Chromium based and I’m not a fan of Chromium.
For search I’ve been using StartPage. I don’t believe they are open source but Quant I believe like GoDuckGo are using Bing and I think Bing is absolute trash.
If you don’t mind paying there is Kagi but personally I don’t think the search results have been better than GDG.
Thanks!
There's also SearXNG, but you'll have to look closely at which provider to get.
Can be a real mess sometimes. I’ve had issues with performance and time outs
