• 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…

        @pingu, I can’t detect nothing apart of some anonymous data.
        DDG is not my favorite search engine, but it can be considered private and reliable.

          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.

            @pingu, anyway it’s good to have several search engines at hand, apart of DDG, Startpage, Qwant, Mojeek f.Exmp. are good options.
