Hi everyone, so I hear that a lot of are lost in choosing a good search engine apart from the popular ones, but I think I have the solution
The search engine I've been using on all my devices is named "Qwant" its French and of course European. Its private and fast, I've been using it and didn't had any issues with it.
So yes I am also new here on Lemmy and just wanted to be useful.
from youtube video "De-Google Your Life"
Ecosia has it's own index with qwant so this is not entirely correct
they are working on their own index with Qwant, they current still both use Bing
I have understood they use their own index already, like Qwant, and Bing to add to it.
Ecosia also has AI answers and bangs, you can use #g to redirect to Google for example.
Also, with qwant you can just use bangs.
I don't like that searxng says no tracking, yes the app itself has none, but the backend search providers still track the requests from the instance IP, so if you're the only user I don't understand how it's any better than just using google/bing/etc directly with ublock origin.
