Never heard of it. Until now. Did a quick search and I see reviews and trust issues are quite mixed.

Duck Duck Go. It's basically Google without the massive algorithm manipulation and constant tracking.

Thanks Guys,
some experience with Bing..on my Win10
Trying Duckduckgo, looks promising.

May also try Ecosia for a few weeks (I am a bit of a tree hugger)
Thanks all, for your time.

PS: Malwarebytes offered me trial VPN, that was awful, so sluggish.

G'Day Rodney

Try DOGPILE https://www.dogpile.com/

That search engine send links to all the other common Search Engines.
I have been using it for at least 20+ years.

Note: It doesn't have some of Google's bells and whistles, but it does a decent job.

Hi Rod,

Several years ago, when I de-googled, I trialed countless search engines.

DuckDuckGo comes with my highest recommendations.

Bing is tied to Microsoft from memory, so who knows what data is being collected.

I've tried Bing but now maybe I'll try Duck Duck Go. Sounds interesting.

I'm a fan of DuckDuckGo.com, which is laser-focused on privacy and works well.
