    What’s your preferred alternative? I use DuckDuckGo, and it’s… OK. I still often switch over to Google when I’m having a hard time finding relevant results on DDG.

      It seems to depend on the type of search. For ordinary information, I’m using DuckDuckGo. For shopping, I go to Google, but the results aren’t great. I’m undecided for serious research.

      DDG works really good in my opinion. I rarely use google, and if I do use it, I find the results almost always lacking too. The only time when google is better, is if I’m looking to purchase something, and want to find a place that sells the product I’m looking for.

      SearXNG. It’s a meta-search aggregator, you can use any public instance (the config is all in-browser) or host your own for kind of extra privacy.
