I’ve recently learned that DDG does not follow its own guidelines for privacy. I’m curious what search engines people here would recommend. I would prefer a search engine that not only respects my privacy but also doesn’t hide or shadow ban content it doesn’t like. Any recommendations?

    Startpage (basically a proxy for Google afaik), Murena Spot, SearX, Qwant, SwissCows

    I use Qwant and Startpage for most things, but tend towards Qwant due to speed.

    I primarily use Startpage for image search, though, because you can specify exact resolutions.

    In my phone Murena Spot was always the default search engine and it’s fine. I switch between it and Qwant Lite.

    When I want someone to search more privately without getting different results, I always recommend Startpage.
