Okay, perhaps I found something interesting, useful and applicable to share with the rest of the class. The Brave search engine & browser. It's built on Chromium FOSS web browser.
The review of Brave and other browsers such as FFX, TOR, DDG is done by restoreprivacy.com. The restoreprivacy.com site is brand new to me, so I read their mission statement - https://restoreprivacy.com/mission/ The review of Brave starts at 4 page down button presses - https://restoreprivacy.com/browser/secure/ Some things that caught my attention w. Brave is their search independence calculations and reporting, anonymous cookies, ability to provide feedback per search request. All I'll say is that Brave has garnered enough of my interest to learn more and to try it out in earnest. I also intend to do more reading on the restoreprivacy.com web site.
