      Startpage, Google results without Google tracking.

      They still get some data, but you can use something like DuckDuckGo as main and Startpage as fallback.

      I started using Startpage it takes Google searches and gives it to the user anonymously. The results are quite good because it’s essential Google results.

          Just tried it a bit, and it seems good, the summary on the left and the website on the right is a great UI (my preferences). I will test/try it for daily use and see if it can handle my often complicated problems…

      I think duck duck go is better personally. There are still a ton of Google services id have trouble leaving though. Google photos, Maps, Docs ect. I don’t think I could quit google altogether.

        Isn’t it Duck Duck Go that sent metadata to Microsoft, also if they denied it.

          Interesting so I guess they use Microsoft ad services and thus send data to Microsoft. I just like their search results because they’re less spammy than Google. Also I found Google sensors their search results a bit more. Let’s say your trying to find a site for pirate streaming. You’ll have better luck with DuckDuckGo.

            Searching for pirate streaming/illegal websites on Google is in general not a good idea…

            Sorry, I remembered it wrong… the problem was that DuckDuckGo stopped blocking Microsoft trackers. But it seems that the contract with Microsoft was terminated after the discovery.
