What search engines do you use?

[Wontactmyage]

I decided after seeing the continued abuse of the main search engines like Google, I decided to use different ones. Does anyone use:
Duck Duck Go?
How about Seekr?
Brave Search?
Do you have other than these?
I really like not have paid ads in the first page(s) forcing me to only see the information they want me to see. Also I am not tracked on the Duck Duck Go search engine. I now see a wider view of information I am looking for.
Anybody else?

Don't know, but I am used to Google and like it. Why should I care about the tracking thing?

Google, Duck duck go... never heard of seekr

You don’t have to however, they target the searches you use to generate advertising, collect data (which they sell) and they direct you to their political bent or redirect your search.

Duck Duck Go. It's slower than Google but so what?

I loved Yahoo all these years but in my eyes they went a little sensational in their front page. I don’t care about actors or their lives or who is sleeping with whom etc. so stopped using them. I loved their forums!!! So sorry they went away.

 

[Geezer Garage]

Duck Duck Go for years now , and occasionally Google when I can't find what I need. I hate Google just because it's so all pervasive and is into every aspect of everything. Like I need more marketing.

We have slow internet out in our sticks so I guess I can’t tell

I've used Yahoo, and Google for years. I also run ABP, which limits all the annoying ads.

Google, I like it and think it gives the best results.

I've used mostly Duck Duck Go for over a year. Do still use Google Maps and Google images. And i like to check their special mastheads sometimes. But i also use websites to confirm my memory of info or look up something i can't remember: NASA.com for space inf; IMDb for movie and TV info; poetryhunter.com to confirm confirm spelling of poets' names & titles of their work;etc..

I don't care for their news at all. I just use it for my searches sometimes.
