Try Brave Search, Duckduckgo, Startpage, or Searxng. For more detail on these recommendation (that I definitely did not just steal), check out the Privacy Guides page, or The New Oil for a different, albeit overlapping, set of recommendations and take on search engines.
Best not to use brave since it's a front for crypto. Other's are okay
DuckDuckGo has recently become a not very useful search engine too, it still has way way better queries than Google though.
Going back usually shuffles the search results and after like 5 results there's just a bunch of random entries based on your geolocation.
Avoid the browser but I've been using their search on Firefox. Really like the AI summarizer and the results are also good.
I disagree! It's best to not use Brave since it's a front for a homophobe.
You mention brave but no mention of kagi? Kagi is way better than DDG too.
Did the Privacy Guides drama ever get resolved re: PrivacyTools. I recall one was split off from the other over draaaamaaa.
I mean I guess. They aren't actively fighting or anything like that to my knowledge. I personally think the Privacy Guides is the better resource, because PrivacyTools has vpn recommendations like Nord and Surfshark with affiliate links that are not actively disclosed from my quick check.
