You are about to get slammed by the FR DuckDuckGo folks, heads up.

DDG depends on the Google database.

It’s a solid database. It’s the algorithm that is garbage

DuckDuckGo is about as good as it gets. If you are concerned about your privacy use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). They are dirt cheap these days... I have used NordVPN for the past several years. They typically have specials where the monthly expense is under $3 a month.

“Report: Search Site DuckDuckGo Hands User Data Over to Google”

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3908513/posts

“Granville’s search engine, Yippy.com, is one of the only search engine sites on the web that absolutely does not track users and does not sell user data.”

I checked ddg a few days ago and it’s still not sold out.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) acts to host websites. They do not interfere with search engines.

AWS deplatformed Parler because of politics and it looks like Parler has a good case to kick AWS’s a$$.

But it has nothing to do with search engines. So you should be fine with ddg.

Another private search engine that is good is dogpile.com.

What about Dogpile?

This one looks relatively new. I’ve only begun to use it.

There’s this one, too.

This is from GAB. Heard it’s very fast and doesn’t have cookies etc. no tracking. Haven’t tried it myself but I heard it’s great.

[sauropod]

Try Qwant.

Looks like this one gets around much of the search engine spam nicely. Tried some searches for free, private tutorials on how to build some things, and it worked well. Other search engines tend to give too much preference with hits to many of the same, old useless sites.

Connect through a good VPN and use an Incognito browser. You will not have any form of tracking. None.

I just posted an article yesterday from Computeractive about switching away from Google tools. The post can be found here. Here is what it wrote about search engines:

The best alternative from a privacy point of view is DuckDuckGo, which won't track your activity, store your search history or share any of yor personal information. Better yet, the service routes any links you click in a way that prevents your search terms from being shared with other websites. DuckDuckGo includes many of the handy features you find in Google Search -- type a math calculation or a currency conversion and it will instantly provide an answer, for example. But some features, such as instant translation to and from English, are absent. And, because DuckDuckGo doesn't gather data about you, your search results aren't always as relevant. On the upside, you won't be targeted by adverts.

If you want the benefits of Google's high quality search results without all that tracking and profiling, then you could try StartPage -- a search engine that pays Google a small fee to use its search technology, but doesn't record your results or track you. Like many free services Startpage uses advertising to make money but these ads aren't generated by using your personal data. The result is a good balance between accuracy and privacy.

DuckDuckGo.com should be fine for privacy.

I’ve just been looking around for a search engine that doesn’t favor popular sites as much as others do. Quant does show a few “AD” hits at the top of the hit list in a search, but those are easy to skip.

I’m finding the dissent web browser able to stop alot of crap. not from a technical analysis but just as i see my web pages and searches results show up.
