| Google Assistant | Just Search (just search but works for the button (long press home button)) or Fennec F-Droid/Firefox's Assist Feature (opens url box inside the app) |
DNS Resolvers
It's important to choose privacy respecting DNS resolver.
Few ones I recommend can be found from my wiki.
Use DNS-over-TLS, DNS-over-HTTPS or DNSCrypt if possible to encrypt the connection.
You can change your DNS resolver for example in Blokada or Nebulo (DNS-over-TLS & DNS-over-HTTPS).
