killamch89 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Personally, my favorite search engines are as follows: DuckDuckgo Startpage Brave Google What are your favorite search engines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_skeith Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I have duckduckgo set on most browser. Edge resets to the Bing every time new update comes. Google does the same on chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I my location history on my Google Account as well as other stuff, I immediately erased everything. It's so creepy. 14 hours ago, skyfire said: I have duckduckgo set on most browser.

I go with Brave - I also want to try Chromium as well I just can't find a stable version of it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use chrome because some sites and the dashboard perform better in chrome than firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lämmchen Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 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. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it still functional today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
