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.
I like dogpile.com, which is an old provider that combines search results from a number of different engines. There's also yandex for images which can be cool. I like nudevista for tube site video streaming hits. I'll check out your sites op. I don't care much if people are tracking me but I think if I ever did it would have had to be covered from like the time I was in high school, which it hasn't and that was about 20 years ago. As far as I'm concerned, there's no way I'm going to have genuine anonymity. Thanks for the options This is kinda cool I think: https://static.semrush.com/blog/uploads/files/39/12/39121580a18160d3587274faed6323e2.pdf
You can self-host your own search engine with SearXNG.
udm14.com is cool for using google without the attached ai they have right now
Also google custom search was cool when I used it for images maybe a year or two ago
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!!!
