What is the best privacy focused search engine? - eviltoast

Preferably one that doesn’t censor search results. Like DuckDuckGo, apparently

    This has so many red flags to it.

    Logged in search with them knowing your payment info is significantly more privacy invasive then logged out Google search.

    Their business model is “trust me bro”. Which if you take marketing at face value then Google must be taking your privacy seriously, right?

    They supposedly take a stance on freedom and transparency… Yet they use Discord lol.

    The refusal of a suicide prevention mention is just straight up fucked up. It doesn’t change results, and that extra small message that costs them nothing and could save a life. There’s literally no downside and only upsides.

      You can pay via Crypto/bank transfer and probably with cash soon.

      The Discord thing is a valid point.

      I don’t agree on the trust part with you. EVERY SOFTWARE we use boils down to trust. Because let’s be honest, we all don’t read the source code. (most of the time)

      And finally there are downsides to such messages: Where do they stop? If someone searches for how to suicide, they should be getting relevant information for their query. Overall, I thought that if you find all the aforementioned things bad, you might like this one. From a liberal perspective, this is great.
