[–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago (3 children) Thanks. I’ll check these out. What do you prefer about each of them? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Startpage uses outside search results, but should be very secure like DuckDuckGo, and better certified. Qwant is AFAIK more independent, and I like the layout better. Both give pretty good search results IMO, but are somewhat lacking in map/geographic searches. For instance searching "Angola" could result in a restaurant in London. Just as a hypothetical example. So I do use Google maps too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] dependencyinjection@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago Thanks for sharing he extra info. permalink fedilink source parent [–] vimdiesel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago qwant = 95% bing results, startpage = 98% google results. They are slimmer. They don't keep your search history or ip address. better for privacy but not much better for search results. permalink fedilink source parent
