Are you looking at browsers or search engines? For search engines, I have been using Bing instead of Google and am very happy with it.

For browsers, Firefox and Opera allow the most customization and security.

I use firefox. It took me a little while to adjust from ex, but now I love it.

If you don't like Google's Chrome browser, start using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, Safari, Konqueror, etc.

If you don't like the Google search engine, try Yahoo or Bing.

ixquick.com is a good search engine that stresses user privacy.

Sorry everyone, I actually meant Search Engines.

But I may try some of the browers listed also.

Thanks,

startpage.com doesn’t track your ip. Google works great but I hate that they keep track of everything. Startpage doesn’t always work as quickly as google but perhaps that will change.

Google isn't a web browser, it's a search engine.

Internet Explorer, Firefox and Opera are browsers.

If you want alternative search engines, try: Ask.com, Bing.com, Yahoo.com or AltaVista.com

Also, try this: A Top 100 search engine list

You’re going to find “censoring” and “filtering” with any and every search engine. That’s how they work. You can learn to use keywords in your search to reduce censorship of the subject matter, but that’s just how it is.

If privacy and advertising is a concern, then I suggest you try using http://www.scroogle.org/cgi-bin/scraper.htm as your default search engine.

Scroogle uses Google, but it “scrapes” the ads from their servers before they reache you, and they don’t track, nor maintain any record, of your use for the past 48 hours.

“no cookies | no search-term records | access log deleted within 48 hours”

You can even click on the padlock for a secure ssl connection.
