After all this time with this technology, I still get browsers and search engines mixed up.  I've used DuckDuckGo's search engine a few years now and they are giving better results than in the beginning. I know they also have a browser and they tout privacy, saying Google spies on people. I don't know, I think everyone is spying on everyone now. 
Some sites do say things like for a better experience, use Chrome, Firefox, or Safari. Notice Edge and isn't mentioned, lol.
Trying another browser might help, I guess. I never considered installing DuckDuckGo on my phone because Safari works just fine.
At the senior center, they have Firefox, Chrome, and Edge. For some reason, Chrome "remembers" my sites even when we try to clear cookies. They recommend I use Firefox, but I don't like how this site looks on there.
I don't know about ads, but they have gone away now...both on Safari on my phone and on Chrome at the library. I use Chrome out of habit, and I just don't think of other browers.
Technology what it is, I say it never hurts to try another browser. DuckDuckGo is turning out to be a decent search engine, but it's a stupid name and logo,
