Big search engines like Google track your activity and sell your data for ads — which is why a lot of us don’t search freely anymore. I’ll share a few alternatives I’ve found, and would love to hear what others are using too!

DuckDuckGo: Best for untracked searching
Startpage: Best for unprofiled browsing
MyAllSearch: Clean interface and an emphasis on user privacy.
Qwant: GDPR-protected searching
Startpage: Combines the top results of multiple engines, primarily Gigablast and Yandex.

I’ve reviewed a few of the options listed, and the results are largely the same across the board. What I find frustrating, though, is the constant appearance of 'AI Suggestions.' I’d prefer to do my own searching without having snippets pushed at me. I get that this is the direction things are heading, but seriously—if I want an AI-generated summary, I’ll ask for one.
I can't be the only one fed up with that!!!
