    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.

        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.

      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.
