Google is by far the most used search engine on the web, but it’s far from the only one. In fact, there are many excellent search engines out there.
If you value your privacy, I suggest giving StartPage by ixquick a try.
Unlike Google and the other popular search engines, StartPage doesn’t track your searches in any way.
No storing cookies, no retaining your search history in a database. They don’t log your IP address or use any other tracking method whatsoever.
In a nutshell, once you’ve completed your search with StartPage and clicked on your chosen result, your search session is over and StartPage doesn’t even “remember” that you were ever there.
Why not visit StartPage right now and give it a try?
Bonus tip: Google has removed the “View Image” button from their image search results, but StartPage still has it on theirs!
