Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result. Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.

PS : If you're french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load

Been using the Duckduckgo app for awhile now. Works fantastic, F google

Duckduckgo largely based it's classic results on Bing.

So I guess this is an agree to OP?

I've been using duckduckgo for many years. So I wouldn't know how it compares to Google results.

Yup, honestly haven't seen much difference at all when I switched a few years ago. But thanks to this post I learned about SearX. Gonna give that try now. Curious though if using a browser like Chrome for example, would make it a pointless? That's what drew me to duck since they have their own app.

Why would using Chrome make it pointless?

I just figured if you're trying to avoid google then using their own browser might have some risk too. But I don't know for sure if they still able to track anything you do on an alternative search website.

Chrome has other features and potential tracking. But those don't make not using Google as the search engine pointless. You're still cutting away a lot of activity.
