I really liked the Bromite browser on my mobiles, but unfortunately it did not get (security) updates for a longer time. From the many discussions in the Issue tracker asking about status of the project, I could not get a clear clue about the situation, but fact is that the last Bromite release is from Dec 2022.
From here Bromite is Dead, Use Cromite Instead I learned about and tried to switch to Cromite, but on my 32-bit Android devices it is still very unstable.
MetaGer is a German meta search engine (utilizing several search engines in the back). UI and results are of course available in many languages.

From their About page:
What makes MetaGer special?
MetaGer is different from other search engines. This is reflected not only in our public good orientation and focus on privacy, but also through some unique features:
- Possibility of creating a personal blacklist
- Function of the search in the search
- Advertising-free search possible
- Integration of search engine projects like YaCy
- The only German search engine that combines results from several large web indexes
- And much more…
What We Stand For
Guaranteed Privacy
Data protection and privacy are important to us. That’s why we don’t track or store personal data and offer several services to protect your privacy, for example our anonymizing proxy (“Open Anonymously” feature).
Non-Profit Association
MetaGer is a project of the non-profit association SUMA-EV, Association for Free Access to Knowledge. SUMA-EV is primarily committed to promoting media literacy.
Diverse and Free
MetaGer produces diverse results because it is a metasearch engine. We have explained exactly what this means in our transparency statement. By publishing our source code, we show that free access to knowledge is important to us. Our source code is free and open source.
100% Renewable Energy
Sustainability and resource consumption is also a big issue for us. Therefore we pay attention to the energy consumption of our services and only use electricity from renewable energy sources.
Hi @Chrishering33@lemmy.world , please try the following (found on the Startpage support page):
Add the following information:
- Search engine name: Startpage
- Search string to use:
https://www.startpage.com/sp/search?query=%s
But I do not know what the /sp/ part is about (maybe “sp” for “StartPage”?) and how the German /de/, that you seem to need, can be integrated.
Many thanks OP for starting this thread and also big thank you to all suggesting
