-based on restoreprivacy.com professional thread: 13 Best Private Search Engines for 2019 | Restore Privacy by Sven Taylor
...on search engines and on some truths about privacy (which is impossible to achieve on the web) ...
"This new and improved guide aims to be the most in-depth resource available on private search engines."
Author's opinions are "based on extensive testing and research". This guide cover excellent advices for keeping your data safe and private.
Here is the information being collected by some of the larger (not private) search engines:
I've no doubts : privacy is impossible to achieve ... So I've get rid of all very valuable privacy extensions ... no more Ghostery, Privacy Possum, CanvasBlocker, Privacy Protector Plus etc here. Only improvements in about:config of my Firefox based browsers (I don't more use Chromium based browsers).
So about search engines: some are better than others, sure.
I don't use Google, and if rarely use it, in my uMatrix all Google items are blocked, in red: cookies, image, script, XHR, other, consent.google.com - not blocked google.com and www. address only, and the G. page is pure thanks to uBlock O. content block.
This guide explains the privacy promises of these search engines:
Searx, Metager, Swisscows, Qwant, DuckDuckGo, Mojeek, JaCy, Givero, Ecosia, Startpage, Jive Search, Peekier.
Thank you, Sven Taylor!
So, what are your comments on unattainable privacy in general, and search engine privacy in particular? Which search engines do you use?....
- I use Swisscows, Searx, Qwant Lite, Peekier, Toki, Yippy, Dogpile Web Search, DuckDuckGo too...
Edit:
deleted search..t search engine name what recently send ads links only, so attention...sorry
