Best private search engine?
Best private search engine?
In my opinion, considering both usability and privacy:
- SearxNG/Searx (Selfhosted) +++++
- SearxNG (Trusted instances: searx.be, paulgo.io) ++++
- Brave Search +++
- DuckDuckGo +++
- Whoogle (Selfhosted) +++
- Kagi (credit card and name required) ++
- MetaGer ++
- Swisscows +
- StartPage +
- Qwant +
- Ecosia +
- Presearch +
- You . com +
- etools .ch ?
Avoid:
- Bing/Yahoo
- ¿Phind?

I have been using DuckDuckGo for so long, it feels weird to move to something else again. Just like that time when switching from Google.
SearxNG sounds intriguing though, maybe even self hosted. But it feels a tad too slow.
DuckDuckGo (DDG) has some bad results sometimes. I am ashamed (only a little) to admit that I sometimes use Google if I need better results or can't find something on DDG.
Try Paulgo.io (instance of SearxNG)
