Alternative search Engines Other than Google
Google is one of the most used search engines in the world and if you planning to change your default search engine then there are plenty of options that you can choose from.
1. StartPage:- It is our topmost pick because it uses Google results and doesn’t record your IP address. It is based in The Netherlands and has a very strict policy for protecting user data.
2. Qwant:- based in Paris and it started in 2013. It uses Bing results which are supplemented by those results collected by its own web crawler. There is only one drawback in the Qwant local search result when I search for “flower shop near me” it shows some results from other countries. It may be because it is a privacy-focused search engine and it doesn’t track your geo-location.
3. DuckDuckGo:-DuckDuckGo is known as “anti-Google” from the day of its launch in 2008. It is one of the most popular private search engines and it sources its results from different places like its own DuckDuckBot, partners (e.g. Bing), crowdsourced sites (e.g. Wikipedia). It doesn’t store IP addresses and doesn’t use tracking cookies.

Ecosia:- its result is good enough most of the time and it uses Bing results enhanced by its own algorithms. It donates almost 80% of its profits to tree planting projects and runs its servers on solar plants.
5. Swiss cows:- Based in Switzerland and uses Bing results except for the German queries. It doesn’t store user’s data and filters all the pornographic and violent search results.
6. Bing:- It acquires 6% of the U.S. market and is owned by Microsoft. It is the best competitor of Google and provides features like currency conversions, time, translation, knowledge panels, etc. It doesn’t have much to offer other than Google and it is not a privacy-focused search engine.
7. Yahoo:- Once it was a popular search engine but now also it owns almost 1.6% of the global market share. Today it is powered by Bing and its interface is also not that great. It is basically not a privacy-focused search engine.
