I've tried to move away from Google search so many times but honestly it's just too convenient..

    Kagi did it for me. I set it as default search engine when it was new, and I actually forgot about it. Thats how good it is.

    It's the same results as Google, just ranked differently so you don't get all the junk. You will discover lots of new web sites that are quite good.

    Try it!

    I think duck duck go is better personally. There are still a ton of Google services id have trouble leaving though. Google photos, Maps, Docs ect. I don't think I could quit google altogether.

    Isn't it Duck Duck Go that sent metadata to Microsoft, also if they denied it.

    Interesting so I guess they use Microsoft ad services and thus send data to Microsoft. I just like their search results because they're less spammy than Google. Also I found Google sensors their search results a bit more. Let's say your trying to find a site for pirate streaming. You'll have better luck with DuckDuckGo.

    @pingu, I can't detect nothing apart of some anonymous data.
    DDG is not my favorite search engine, but it can be considered private and reliable.

    Sorry, I remembered it wrong… the problem was that DuckDuckGo stopped blocking Microsoft trackers. But it seems that the contract with Microsoft was terminated after the discovery.

    I started using Startpage it takes Google searches and gives it to the user anonymously. The results are quite good because it's essential Google results.

    @pingu @BrokenToshy, Startpage is my secondary search engine, mainly for images, the other secondary most used is Mojeek, but my main and first search is Andisearch (AI) with unique features and one of the most private search engine out there

    Just tried it a bit, and it seems good, the summary on the left and the website on the right is a great UI (my preferences). I will test/try it for daily use and see if it can handle my often complicated problems…
