What's Jow Forums's personal favorite search engine (also if anyone has the picture about why not to use duckduckgo...
Starpage.
Searx.me is nice but it's too broken sometimes.
DuckDuckGo plain sucks.
Unironically Google. It may be botnet but it simply returns better results. I want to like DuckDuckGo, Startpage and the rest, but if they don't find what I'm looking for effectively, I can't see myself using them long term.
I like Searx.me as a concept but I get really bad and even unrelated results I assume because of the google captha error
Google returns the best results for basically everything that isn't a reverse image search. Yandex beats it there, but sometimes Google wins in that area too
I have found Startpage to work 99/100 times and when it doesn't I just use yandex.
Yeah startpage is the one I usually use its given the best results of the 3 privacy ones(ddg searx and startpage)
>yandex
You may as well just pack up all your personal information and mail it to Putin
I loved Yandex until it started giving me captchas.
I use duckduckgo, partially for the promise of privacy, but mostly for bang searches
Ecosia + chiru.no + Yandex
searx.me, usually gives me no trouble if you tweak the settings a bit.
but for image search, i just use google cause it werks
Qwant
I thought I was the only one
yes, samefag shill, you are the only one
now go away
??
How could I be a samefag if our posts are less than a minute apart angryboi?
DuckDuckGo
Good enough results (I mean, just werks), doesn't track me and when it isn't enough I'll just use !sp or !g. The bangs are useful to search in a lot of sites as well, of course you could just configure your browser to work that way, but why do that if you can access DDG in every device?
Qwant but I'm moving to Ecosia now. Everything else is broken or a botnet.
Searx is the only good for privacy search engine.
>why not to use duckduckgo
Hosted in America.
I use DuckDuckGo. Safety and all that shit Google is doing to your data aside, have you ever tried to google Pornhub? Its just not showing up on fucking Google.
The imagesearch of DuckDuckGo is horrible though
The picture mentioned shows that duckduckgo is particularly private since the creator has outright said they would give up their users privacy if they gained from it and haven't given any checks on being private and since its in the USA the NSA can just take whatever data they want and ddg dont have to say shit
Fuck off copper
Just use ddg for 'quick superficial' searches. Other search engines for others
I've been using Qwant but I'm probably going to switch to Startpage.
Russia is too poor to directly interfere with westerners' personal lives. Google, though...
>have you ever tried to google Pornhub? Its just not showing up on fucking Google
??????????????????
thx user
Based. I use Ecosia too.
Save the bees
I thought that too until they started messing with elections.
I use Searx primarily. I also use start page for when I want google results only and Disconnect when I want ddg results only.
>Disconnect when I want ddg results only
Why?
>better results
If I search for a shitty hp deskjet printer, the first result is a samsung printer.
millionshort.com
just use bing, it's unironically less cucked than ddg, startpage and google combined. just wipe your cookies after you use it.
DuckDuckGo is pretty comfy lately.
Google chrome
i dont care if its botnet or not
that's not a search engine
Startpage without doubt, it's just google but without breaking all your privacy rights
tried Searx.me but felt like it wasn't near that good
I use DDG. The main reason I stopped using Google wasn't even because of privacy but because it fucking kept showing past searches even though I disabled that.
I might switch to Ecosia, if it's true they help plant trees then I'd like to "help".
>It's just google
Then why does it consistently return less results than Google?
Yes i meant google
i thought this was a browser thread
there is one now if you wanna go share stuff in it
where
Qwant, or Startpage if qwant doesn't give me what I want
...
Based, save the Earth
Cracks me up every time
Writing URLs till I succeed.
>duckduckgo
Maybe because of the absence of personalization?
