startpage for the win

ddg because I fell for their privacy sales pitch and became addicted to !bangs before I stopped being autistic about privacy.

>>59026933
I became more autistic about privacy, so sometimes I split my searches between DDG and Startpage

Startpage

Google has the best search by far so pretty much anything that uses it (SearX, Startpage, etc.)

I'm confused. Why is Startpage so good for privacy if it's "Enhanced by Google"?

The only device I have is a Moto x pure and I use naked browser.

>>59026373
I use startpage merely because it doesn't use stupid redirect urls in search results and basically gives the same results as google (duh!).
I don't trust it more than Google, DDG or the others though.
>We pinky-swear that we don't sell your metadata
Yeah, no, I better take it as a calculated risk

>>59026988
This looks nice but as an Europoor I'm not sure my browsing info is safer on an european search engine than on an american one.

I can't find any good search engine on my language so I allways fall back for Google no matter what I try

>>59026373

Is this a joke? Use SP or Searx

Nope, still showing ym location at the bottom.

>>59026373
I've been trying to use DuckDuckGo but the results are kinda shitty

I'd just like a search engine that finds stuff and doesn't follow me around the web with some analytics bullshit
You know, just keep it on your own websites.

>>59026373
is it true that you can easily search unindexed pages through ddg?

Use ddg.gg and preface you're search terms with "!g "
>those !bangs you keep hearing about.

>>59035657
This. I often revert back to google for more accuracy.

>>59036359
that's not how it works, bangs are literally just a redirect, !g is the same as going to google yourself, devs have confirmed it

>>59036359
This, and with !g your using encrypted.google.com.
The bangs are the only reason for me to use duckduckgo. It makes search much comfier than other search engines.
But are they really so evil in privacy concerns?

>>59036359
>>59036481
encrypted.google.com doesn't protect your searches from google itself you retards, do you even read about the things that you use?

>needing ddg bangs when your browser can do it
Pathetic.

>>59036517
But as you're default search, you can use any bang in your url bar.
>Yes, I know about search keywords.

>>59027099
LMFAO

>>59036582
Have fun creating a keyword for every search form on the internet.

Bing... Until just now.

Hold me /g/... or y'know, tell me where to search unprotected google drive links.

>>59026952

That's how I felt about it.
10 years ago.

>>59036582
Even then, you type a keyword in, press Enter, then search, press Enter.
With bangs, you just type "!w/e searchterm", press Enter and you have the result.

Duckduckgo's results subpar at best. I've switched to Start Page.

>>59036705
Somebody post me a search engine that respects piracy and doesn't just repost results from google.

I'm so tired of-
In response to a complaint that we received under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act, we have removed X result(s) from this page.

>If only their image search was as good as Bings

I use bing because the rewards.

is there any open source search engines which i can use to make my own

>>59038842
searx

>>59039122
>searx
its not a search engine its a scraper

>>59036705
Well, fuck. Any good alternatives? A lot of engines posted here use Google anyway.

Is there a way for your settings to be applied to the Firefox search for Start Page?

>>59039399
I'm racking my brains to try and think of an engine that google hasn't killed.
Startpage, Ask, DDG, even Gibiru use the same results pool now. Does yahoo still exist as a separate entity or has that been folded in as well?

>>59038124
thanks for showing me, that will come in handy.

Tried both startpage and searx. They seem good. Which is better? Searx page tells me I should install it or something. Can't I just use it as a normal homepage? I also noticed they don't have the reverse image search. Gonna have to keep using google for that.

>>59026373
i use ask.com

never saw a reason to switch

am i in the wrong?

>>59040496
Just use yandex.

Install gentoo

Ecosia because trees. Probably not a god choice regarding privacy because they use Bing for their results.

>>59026933
If you use Firefox, you can assign your own search shortcuts to use just like bangs.

Just tried it. It's shit. Not enough peers indexing to be of real use.

I use metager.de. It’s maintained by a German non-profit and has its focus on privacy and diversity. (Btw their source code is free)
But it’s not as useful if you’re not German.

>>59044930
I take it back. Search for 'nudists' and you get lots of cheese pizza.
