Most searches on the internet are carried out through Google Search. But not everyone wants to use Google, Bing or the other big search engines. These companies usually track you through your searches, and use that information to better advertise to you.

If you’re looking for a search engine that respects your privacy more or collects less of your data, here are some safe & easy alternatives to try:

DuckDuckGo

Ecosia

You.com

Brave Search

Startpage

Swisscows

These search engines may still rely on Google search results or other big engine technology. But if you read their promises, they’ll still gather less info on you, and prevent the big companies from studying you as you search the web.
