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.
