Search Engines:

  • Lycos - Yes they're still around and independent from Bing & Google.
  • DuckDuckGo - privately uses Yahoo (Bing). Has "bang" options.
  • StartPage - privately uses Google.
  • searX - a metasearch engine, aggregating the results of other search engines while not storing information about its users.
  • Bing - A full array of features and a rewards system you can sign up for.
  • Ecosia - The search engine that plants trees with its ad revenue. (Bing)

DDG is cucked. Stop thinking it's a good option. SearX and Lycos are probably the only solid options in that list.

Shame about Ask Jeeves.

Startpage and searx suffer from terrible and unpredictable latencies.

Bing tracks you.

Bing via DDG using the "!b" is an option.

See qwant.com as another alternative engine.

You really don't have to use the !b bang option since DDG uses yahoo, who is powered by Bing. I guess it might save some latency but not much.

One the main page I say that we know who MS is as a company, they're after the almighty $. So I'm fine with Bing as long as they don't censor like Google is plus Microsoft rewards.

https://www.ixquick.com/eng/ is another. Uses google's engine. So you'll still get buttfucked on the wonked results I guess.
