DuckDuckGo

The FSF still endorses it, RMS uses it, and !bangs are god-tier stuff so I'm fine with it.

The only evidence I know of is that the guy who made it ran that datamining website previously, which is what I assume you mean when you say "that the guy who created it is a jew". To me, though, that's a good enough assumption to be skeptical of its intentions. I mean, I don't see why that guy would start out by collecting people's data than all of a sudden have a complete 180 change of heart and start believing in anonymity.

If DDG was the only google alternative, I would use it anyways, but since other alternatives exist like startpage I don't see the point in taking the risk.

*then all of a sudden

Servers are owned by Amazon. Just look it up.

bangs are the hands down best feature i've ever used on a search engine. I use it on a daily basis.

do we have total, absolute, verifiable and infalsifiable access to the servers, software they run, hardware they run on, network they are part of, etc?

if any of these are <100% yes, then the total answer is no.

You cannot even trust that linux machine on your home network with a commercial ISP router and your mom's windows pc to be anywhere near being your ally

I have never trusted duckduckgo more than anything else simply because you cannot verify anything they claim. VPNs that promise they keep no logs and don't cooperate with spying programs etc can suck my dick as well cause none of what they say can be verified. At least in the case of protonmail for example there is some reassurance in that you can do packet inspection and see no unencrypted data leaving, but still they might actually have a backdoor into what you're doing and you just can't see it amidst the random noise.

Honestly why one should care now? The moment information goes to ISP you are already being tracked down and your precious metadata being collected for further incrimination/government endorsed blackmail.

If you want a glimpse of anonymity then you should mask your traffic, like using tor, or using a specific server for handling all your data searching needs.

>>59422448
I mean really though outside of !bangs why not just use startpage? Srs

>>59422595
Bumping for answer to this

>>59422738
Idk but if you use startpage you're still indirectly using google. I'd rather not, so I use duckduckgo.

real reddit in here

But, you know that every site you enter knows your IP, and location? They also know your useragent(browser version and os).
