    We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.

    That’s what Duckduckgo is saying.

    I use it for pic searches. I can easily go to the link of the pic. On the other hand, Google takes me to the site containing the pic.

    Another concern of mine re Google is this –

    Say I’m searching re a car. The search results are riddled with carmechanic.com, carexpert.com, moderncar.com, carstoday.com and others. Idk if those are legit. There’s a lot of misinformation on the Net so I’ve been careful.

  Kagi is pretty good, but expensive. I like that listicles are put in their own small section so you can ignore them. You can boost, pin, demote, or block results from certain domains. You can create and quickly switch between domain list presets to search only specific sets of sites. The only thing I don’t like is the exerpts below results don’t bold what you’re looking for like Google does.

  I have noticed that recently…meaning a few minutes before I typed this.

  Google has sucked for a long time now and now bing isn’t even good for finding porn anymore.

  mullvad leta and brave search are pretty good about being private

  Mullvad leta is only accessible by using the mullvad browser extension with mullvad VPN on the same device.
