Just some alternatives. Be careful out there in internet-land.

Just like CNN is not longer our first stop for news...

So shall Google lost that role in Internet searching.

Before google there was AltaVista and Excite among others. I now use duckduckgo, dogpile and bing (at work because duck is blocked there).

I don’t care that much about the privacy thing. I used to, until I counted the cost, listed the pros and cons and found that it’s not really all that important to me from that perspective.

I've been using DUCK for several months and am very satisfied..

Here is the comparison between Duckduckgo and Google. Obviously DDG

takes privacy very seriously. While Google only gives it “lip service”

goofgle is sharia compliant in pakistan, and communist compliant in china. There is absolutely no doubt that they willingly kiss the butt of leftists in this country and everywhere else.

Been using Duck for several years now. I’ve heard they’re developing an e-Mail service that caters to the same privacy concerns as their browser. Still waiting on that.

Does it really matter if you are using android? I’m sure google hoovers it continuously. They are listening continuously. I would also imagine you don’t want to do search from Edge or IE. A massive sucking sound there.

I am using Duck Duck go. I am also blocking google analytics, google ads, and other tracking system by using my host file. Here is a updated blacklist to add to your host file.
If you block Google Analytics, you are taking money form Google. Just about every company in the world is using Google Analytics because it is free to use. If you want to devalue Google start blocking Analytics.

Been using DuckDuckGo for many years... No adds just facts... IMHO, since the adds are not loaded, it is significantly faster than Google... (Even though, I believe, it is tied into the Google engine.)

Just wanted to add another search engine that I had trouble finding the address of when I post the previous post. Disconnect.me is both a metsearch and a privacy search engine located at: https://search.disconnect.me/
