I hope so or else they have all my illegal searches

Yup. As is searx.me.

>searx.me
>icon is a magnifying glass with horns and an eye pupil inside

Looks legit.

>>60404568

It doesn't matter. NSA gets records from the service provider itself. Use what you want.

Nice try, Russians.

Yes, it's better than duckduckgo.

It's not about a 100% saftey, it's about not giving your data away on a silver plate.

It's a difference if a TLA has to make a subpoena or if you just put your pictures (full of EXIF data) directly on google+ and facebook.

to me it seems really overkill to use an inferior search engine just because google might make 0.000004 cents on your search

>>60405155

Well, g00gle gets a hell lot of money from controlling the interwebs. Alphabet will make skynet, mark my words.

But honestly I'm too lazy to wait 1 second more and really like googles autocomplete feature. So I guess it can't be helped. Sorry John Connor, I could have prevented it..

Yes, and it works great with SourceMage.
You should install it.

StartPage is just an anonymised Google search, so you'll get the same results and they've even started adding knowledge graph stuff if you're into that.

>>60405640

Have you done the Pepsi challenge on this? You'd be surprised what StartPage doesn't show. Doesn't stop me from using it, but if I really get stuck I go to Foogle and see if there's a difference. Invariably there is, sad to say.

How are you so stupid?

Not to say that the results you get are bad though. Works just fine.

>>60405667
No I haven't actually, I figured if I'm going to trust them with my searches over Google I may as well trust their claims about the results.

>"you must be logged in and have been being tracked for a certain length of time to use this service" - Google

Yeah I don't think so.

I take your point, but if you're logged into Google and use it regularly I doubt you're considering StartPage.

Is there a startpage version of this?

NO. Literally, google.

ixquick any good?

I like it because results are straight from Google, but it doesn't "tailor the results" to "you" and doesn't force the locale of whatever country I am in when 99% of the time I simply want English results. Also a handy web proxy feature.

HOWEVER, it seems to have "safe" results enabled by default so disable that else you will miss some results.

>>60405667
maybe it's ^

how exactly does a search engine work great with a linux distribution?
