Privacy Search Engines Anonymous 312086
Big search engines like Google track your activity and sell your data for ads — which is why a lot of us don’t search freely anymore. I’ll share a few alternatives I’ve found, and would love to hear what others are using too!
DuckDuckGo: Best for untracked searching
Startpage: Best for unprofiled browsing
MyAllSearch: Clean interface and an emphasis on user privacy.
Qwant: GDPR-protected searching
Startpage: Combines the top results of multiple engines, primarily Gigablast and Yandex.

Yandex (Russian) is not too bad
Gives good results. Less shitty than Bing and Google in my opinion.
Mojeek (British) is never mentioned enough. It has own crawlers.
The ones you named aren't inherently bad but all just get results from Google and Bing and filter them in their own way.

>>312135Iv'e used mojeek in the past and the results were shite.

None of these are good. Duckduckgo especially is tracked. You need to use SearX, searx.space

>>312086Google, bing, yandex and most of the time qwant can't find anything.
Ask Grok.
The other use AI as well, but add their filters and then a triple thick layer of sponsored content. You should rather ask an AI directly.

I personally use Startpage. I hear that DuckDuckGo isn't as private as people are lead to believe but my friend was showing me they have an option to filter out AI images from the image search which is pretty cool.

I’ve reviewed a few of the options listed, and the results are largely the same across the board. What I find frustrating, though, is the constant appearance of 'AI Suggestions.' I’d prefer to do my own searching without having snippets pushed at me. I get that this is the direction things are heading, but seriously—if I want an AI-generated summary, I’ll ask for one.
I can't be the only one fed up with that!!!

>>312330No guarantee that even traditional search engines won't be running AI under the hood to return results but yea the summary blurbs are wasted space at best. (and more often hilariously off-base mashups of contradictions and AI hallucination)

Also, kagi.com returns a good sweep of results the few times I've used it. It takes an account registration (or link), though, so privacyheads be forewarned
