    Qwant is French and indexes their own stuff, with a small portion pulled from Bing. It is my preferred choice and daily driver. On utmost rare occasions, once a month, I might use Startpage for Google results.

    Start relying less on search engines, and try to bookmark your favourite sites so that you rely less on search engines in the first place. Minimises tracking on you.

      I don’t really like the relation between Qwant and Microsoft. (I personally use SearX)

        The problem is, Bing and Google are kings of web crawling and aggregation of search results. And a third party can never match upto them due to lack of monetary capital and infrastructure. Therefore one has to rely on their results, whilst minimising tracking on you.

        I research a lot, and that is how I get things done without using Google dot com or Bing dot com.

      StartPage is owned by a US data mining company. They tried to hide the acquisition. I’d stay away from that one.

        The data points on me are minimal, and I rarely if ever use it. I have already achieved negligible usage.

        I hate using it, as
