>duckduckgo is not trustworthy
Why?

>US based
>Run by some literal jew
never shove your information through something based in the USA.

>StartPage
>obsessive about privacy
that almost makes it sound bad. they definitely could have used a nicer word.

actually no, in that context it's the best word they could have used.

>No logs
Is a bigger red flag.

That's like your opinion. Fucktard.

I use Qwant exclusively. Should I not find what I need I go to searX and end there.

SearchX is a metasearch engine. It still has google enabled in it on default, you'll find it in the settings.

Searx.me is shit because it breaks often. StartPage is shit because it's slow as fuck.
Qwant Lite > Qwant > Searx.xyz > DuckDuckGo > StartPage

So what's preventing startpage from just being secretly funded by google who in turn receives the data?

Searx is the only answer.

>ecosia
that one looks kinda neat.

i wouldn't trust searx.me but searx project seems good. startpage is great, no-cookie configs. hard to get straight plaintext searching anymore but startpage still has that option buried in there somewhere.

k

Bing over Tor.

bing is good for porn video search

here's an idea faggots
>unnel all jewgle traffic over split VPN

why when you can just get the same results using startpage? jewgle will still track you using your browser signature and more.

startpage is slow as shit, takes like 3 seconds to get a result. I have shit to do.

then use Qwant

closed source French botnet

better than closes source (((american))) botnet. Use SearX.me then, it's open source. you fucking google shill.

Prior to founding duckduckgo, the guy who runs it literally made his fortune collecting and selling user data without their knowledge or consent. What makes you think he's not doing the exact same thing now?

this, I don't know how Jow Forums keeps falling for the DDG shills.

So I've used Startpage for years, so I'm qualified to have an opinion.

StartPage used to be really good, but then it started cutting down on features for ostensibly no reason at all. None of these changes were publicly acknowledged, either.
>Removes option to allow 100 results per page---limited to 20.
>Removes the search term from the title page even though the URL doesn't give away what the search was anyway, so that every single tab just says "Startpage Web Search", meaning if the browser crashes or the tab is closed, the results won't be brought back.
>Removes infinite scroll on image search, forcing you to go page by page.
I've gotten fed up with this, so I'm going to be moving my email address away from them and switching to searX, which is no worse than Startpage at this point. All you need to do is just remove every search engine besides Google and you basically have the same thing.

these all seem fine changes to me, to be completely honest with you.

They aren't because they take away power with no apparent benefit.

what power?
>reduce 100 items to 20
this is good because it makes the page more lightweight, you can still get to all results in other pages
>remove things that can give away the search, use POST instead of GET
great
>remote infinite scroll
infinite scroll is literally cancer. it means with more use the page becomes heavy as shit and if you refresh or go back, you have to find your way scrolling through everything to find where you were before


these are all great changes.

>this is good because it makes the page more lightweight
You misunderstood. 100 results was an option you enabled in the settings. The default was 10, with 20 and 100 being options you could have selected.
>>remove things that can give away the search, use POST instead of GET
It used POST and still did not reveal the search term in the URL---it just let the user know what the term was.
>infinite scroll is literally cancer. it means with more use the page becomes heavy as shit and if you refresh or go back, you have to find your way scrolling through everything to find where you were before
Infinite scroll allows you to not get duplicate images, and also allows you find what you're looking for much faster. The infinite scroll also had a limit of about three pages worth of images before it stopped and presented you with a button to load more images on that same page.
If memory usage was a problem, then optimization was also a viable solution that they chose not to go for.

nah mate, infinite scroll ruins everything on any browser. you literally can not argue in favor of it.

>you literally can not argue in favor of it.
I just did, but whatever.

self-hosted searx container that uses yacy and startpage desu.
