Show HN: I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization (visualrambling.space)

I've been mostly a happy Brave user - I havent appreciated the crypto, AI, ads etc. they have been subtly pushing and I am not as highly confident as I need to be regarding privacy etc.

Are there any better options out there? The chromium extension ecosystem is another reason im staying on Brave but it seems Zen Browser + Firefox extensions is workable. The only issue with that it doesnt have an Android browser.

Have you heard of DuckDuckGo? Might be worth taking a look at.

and the crypto and pretty much all of the other bloat, if you spend a few minutes in the settings UI.
