Side question: I’m setting up a computer for an older relative of mine. I’m looking for a bare-bones search engine for her. Nothing confusing or intricate. Any suggestions? Thanks.

DuckDuckGo is very simple. Same as any.

IDK. Set up the Bookmarks bar real good. Add a folder called Quick Links to it for more links so you don't get the ">" on the right side, pointing to more links (the folder is a drop-down). Show her how to use tabs.

That is all. Oh, and include a link to FR!

DDG is a fine search engine. I have used it for several years now. Occasionally, when I do not get good results, I will decloak and use google. And when I do that, more often than not they are no better.

DDG’s small market share reflects the percentage of people who understand how this stuff works and and take it seriously. IMHO it is just a matter of time before the PC mob decides that Duck Duck Go has to go and starts attacking their advertisers, partners, payment processors, etc.

StartPage.com.

It has worked well for me. Very uncomplicated and very private.

I prefer to use Yippy.com for many of my searches.

Startpage and Duck Duck Go are good IMHO.
