Hmm, #DuckDuckGo vs #Qwant? I'm actually starting to like Qwant more and more, I been using it now for a while. #StartPage and #Searx have their pitfalls, imo. #google is unviable, due to #privacy violations
@kennetmattfolk I’d say DuckDuckGo. They source their results from Bing and Yandex. Qwant just rebrands Bing results. (Qwant insists they don’t, but try searching for “whatsmyuseragent.org” and note the name of the bot that brought you the results.) Try Cliqz. They just released a new search engine built on data collected from Cliqz browser users (same as Microsoft and Google, but higher privacy standards). Cliqz has no independent crawler, they source everything from users.
