And if you don't want your searches to be tracked by Google, Whoogle is an alternative front-end to access Google Search.

https : / / github (dot) com / kroy94 / whoogle-search

Description: Get Google search results, but without any ads, javascript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. Easily deployable in one click as a Docker app, and customizable with a single config file. Quick and simple to implement as a primary search engine replacement on both desktop and mobile.

You may notice some features are lacking in Whoogle that you would find in Google Search, but for some people it's probably good enough. Whoogle Search includes Google News(as a tab) on the bottom of the search bar after you type in a query and press enter.

Searx is a privacy respecting metasearch engine. You can also search for news there.

Disclaimer: It is probably not a good idea to self-host Whoogle/Searx, since it is obvious the traffic to Google/some other non-privacy respecting search engine operator is from one person. But depending on your threat model maybe it can work.

Of course Brave is bad. But if Google isn't crypto-fascist, i don't know what is. They are an integral part of the military industrial complex and are very cozy with governments worldwide. They are also working on the "technopolice" and promoting AI with all of its shortcomings and biases. About search results, specifically, they are based on a secret ranking sauce privileging bad-quality content... i don't know about english language result, but whatever political topic you lookup for, neo-fascist conspiracy websites (égalité et réconciliation, fdesouche...) are always in the top5 results. How could you defend them?

DuckDuckGo is just a meta-engine and stores little information. Whatever appears in Bing (and maybe others) is what will appear in DuckDuckGo.

A privacy forum where you get told to use google because it does a better job with censoring? Good job guys... I'm out... Have fun with your quality news...
