Thanks but no thanks.
I don’t trust a browser nor a search engine if an ad imperium paid for it and gives it away for free.
Does the Cliqz browser still disallow plugins, such as ad blockers?

Hey, I work on Cliqz' adblocker (open-source here: https://github.com/cliqz-oss/adblocker). Cliqz browser comes built-in with adblocking, anti-tracking, anti-phishing and private search built-in so that users are protected by default.
You can also install another one if you prefer since all Firefox extension are also available from Cliqz! But the one built-in is pretty good already[^1] and we're happy to get more feedback about how we can improve it!
Finally, Cliqz search is also available standalone now so feel free to give it a try! https://beta.cliqz.com/

Yeah, that’s why I don’t trust chrome or google search.
Still, I was referring to the Burda conglomerate. Why would we want to replace one ad giant’s tech with that of another (more regional) ad tycoon?
Lol, yeah. The HN headline is like "hell yeah, break up and/or nationalise Google/Alphabet," but the link is "get our product please think of us poor little oppressed advertising agencies" and, uh, no.
