Search - SearXNG - Has the option to self-host but is an aggregated search engine. Respects privacy, lots of configurable search engines.

Browser - Firefox - Really enjoying the mobile version with addon support.

Maps - OsmAnd~ - Honestly not as good as maps, but fits the bill.

For maps check out Organic Maps: https://organicmaps.app/

Also check out GMaps VW when OSM is not enough. You can use for Google maps without a Google account.

Do you have a link? I can't seem to find "GMaps VW".
