Just Search

Just Search is an Assist replacement (the app that launches after long pressing home) and cannot be launched via the launcher. To use it, navigate to the device settings and change the default Assist app.

Just Search provides a simple way to search from everywhere without needing to launch the heavy (in terms of data and resources' needs) Google search app. Just Search uses DuckDuckGo by default, but allows opting for a multitude of predefined search providers instead. It also allows setting a custom search URL so that any search engine is supported.

Microsoft Edge privacy Whitepaper

Highly recommended for Windows. As for Linux, choose any from Microsoft Edge, Brave and Google chrome depending on your priorities

🌍 Brave
Windows and Linux: https://brave.com/download

🌎 Vanilla Chromium
Windows:

choco install chromium

To Install chocolatey package manager, see https://chocolatey.org/install

Linux:
⚠ Avoid getting chromium browsers from your distro repos, snap store or FlatPak. They delay updates and/or don't have robust CFI. Basically, less secure

You are better off with Google chrome if you want production build of vanilla chromium on Linux.
