privacy my ass they openly admit to handing over data to microsoft, the results are extremely customized and often include your exact location for some reason

You do realize companies like Google provide these services for free, right? How do you expect them to continue operating (read: provide you with free services) if they are not allowed to find other avenues to make money?

>>108833024
ddg couldn’t fucking find 4chan v archive in the first two pages
just use startpage

>>108833024
i almost exclusively use yandex at this point because its the only search engine that actually works anymore
>>
>>108833024
i use it because the alternatives suck ass

Same, i dont even know russian.

>>108834258
yes it filters 4chan because it's a bing frontend
just like bing, if you type in 4chin or 4chn it will come up
>>
>>108833251
This is a shit argument. They never did a trade offer with me. I'd be happy to pay for their services if it meant they would stop collecting data. But the choices are either:
1) use it for free and with adblockers (they still gather their data)
2) pay (and use an adblocker regardless) and they still gather their data.

It's a literal lose lose situation for the user. And a win win for them. This goes for any of the big tech companies.

>>108833160
*pssst* hey anon, search results ARE ads
>>
>>108833024
the best explanation i came up with is localized results when not incognito:
https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/privacy/anonymous-localized-results
i also get "the grand tour" as third result when not incognito while having watched no top gear prior. tenth result is even a location near me that is named "primes".
however when i search incognito, none of those localized results are there.

4get is literally a glorified proxy scraper of ddg w TOR support. and it supports other engines like Yandex, Brave, Yahoo, startpage and google but usually a good lot of them past Brave and ddg is broken.
only thing that (maybe) sucks about it being the captcha, it's FOSS too.

no he meant metal gear

do you watch youtube with an account?

>>108839266
no
i dont usually even watch in a browser
>>
>>108833024
You're lucky it gave you anything resembling a relevant result at all. Every time I've had the displeasure of using FuckFuckNo it seems to completely disregard my query and display whatever the fuck it feels like. Easily the worst search engine ever made, by far.
>>
>>108833024
I tried them for a month and ever time got annoyed and went back to startpage.
>>
>>108833024
You can't talk about this stuff these days without creeps, retards, shills,a nd bots flooding the thread. It goes way beyond that. And by the way duckduckgo was started bya jew.
>>
>>108839291
startpage doesnt have search query in url so if you close the browser you dont know what the fuck you were seaching for
>>
>>108839334
I'm ok with that.
>>
>>108839183
it's not linked to you anymore, duh

>>108839465
youre suggesting i buy stolen bank account on tor?
>>
>>108833024
Everyone will used third party search indexes in the future and then have their own AI bagent search it for whatever answer you want. It will give better results and it will be truly private if you use a local model combined with something like the pi agent harness.
