Favorite Search Engines

[killamch89]

Personally, my favorite search engines are as follows:

1. DuckDuckgo
2. Startpage
3. Brave
4. Google

What are your favorite search engines?

Google, only because it shows what I want (and sometimes don't want 😛 ) Though I should get into duckduckgo, and didn't realize Brave had a search engine.

I have duckduckgo set on most browser. Edge resets to the Bing every time new update comes. Google does the same on chrome.

That's because Google is always storing your search results so it'll just give you what you want. When I my location history on my Google Account as well as other stuff, I immediately erased everything. It's so creepy.

I hardly use chrome anymore if I'm being honest because it hogs so much resources.. I go with Brave - I also want to try Chromium as well I just can't find a stable version of it yet.

I still use chrome because some sites and the dashboard perform better in chrome than firefox.

DuckDuckGo seems to win most peoples eyes and yet I do not use DuckDuckGo, I stick to Chrome/Google 😜

It's almost as good as Google but it doesn't store your search results.

 I don't type duckduckgo name. I just use browser inclusion option and that would take care of it. chrome/google is by default. but if you want to avoid getting tracked duckduckgo is the way.

I use Google out of habit but more and more I find myself using DuckDuckGo. I think Google censors too many of my searches and I'm surprised at some of the sites I'll get when I switch to DuckDuckGo. I think recipes are about the same but things like politics, news articles, even religion can give me different hits.

Same here - there are certain things that I want to find out about and Google tries to censor some of the answers while allowing others.

Seriously, this is actually my very first time of hearing about DuckDuckGo search engine. Is it still functional today?

Try it out yourself, I mean it doesn't hurt your life 😛 But for me, I rather stick what I have now rather then trying to get another downloaded software. 

LIke I said, I Never used it before.

Yeah, I'm actually wired that way to always try as much as I can to have an experience in almost all things I came across, so I'd have something to say about it.

It's not downloaded software though, it's a search engine that generates results without the practice of censoring certain results like Google does.
