Hi all
I am interested in what search engines peeps here use, considering most of us are security/privacy aware :cool:
I'm guessing Google wins by a mile
Been privacy orientated I prefer to use https://startpage.com/
Googles results but without the privacy invasion
Here follows an exert of Startpages privacy policy...

Your privacy is under attack!

Every time you use a regular search engine, your search data is recorded. Major search engines capture your IP address and use tracking cookies to make a record of your search terms, the time of your visit, and the links you choose - then they store that information in a giant database.

Those searches reveal a shocking amount of personal information about you, such as your interests, family circumstances, political leanings, medical conditions, and more. This information is modern-day gold for marketers, government officials, black-hat hackers and criminals - all of whom would love to get their hands on your private search data.

Don't mean to preach to the converted :rolleyes:

Well I normally use Google but when I'm unable to access Google at TAFE I use DuckDuckGo. :)

must admit can't beat Google images :rolleyes:
but if you can get the exact same results back with the added bonus of those results not been cross referenced, logged and saved all under your G+/Gmail ID why wouldn't you...
However if you never log in or use an anonymous Google account it's not an issue right? :google::wild:
