Best Alternative Search Engines 2025 Anonymous 02/23/2026 (Mon) 08:26 [Preview] No. 74832

Big search engines like Google and Bing are well known to track searchers activity and sell that data to advertisers — which is why many of us don’t feel comfortable searching freely anymore.

If you’re looking for more private alternatives, here are a few I’ve come across. I’d love to hear what others are using too!

🔍 DuckDuckGo – Great for simple, untracked searches
🔐 Startpage – Delivers Google results without the profiling
🛡️ Brave Search – Strong privacy with its own independent index
✨ MyAllSearch – Clean interface with a focus on user privacy
🇪🇺 Qwant – GDPR-compliant, with servers based in Europe
🔗 Dogpile – A metasearch engine that pulls top results from Bing, Yandex, and more

Please share anymore Iv'e missed, I'm always curious to discover new ones.

As for good privacy-friendly web browsers use Librewolf and Tor. There are others like Brave too.

Librewolf with uMatrix is far better than Brave. If you tweak a few things in about:config disabling WebGL, WebRTC and GeoAPI it's rock solid as far as a secure browser, plus it has a built-in option to wipe all your browser session caches and history every time you close the browser making it extra privacy oriented.

You can also test out your web browser's security via the Browser Leaks website. It will tell you everything you need to know when it comes to information leaking through your browser or if it can be compromised. Getting rid of WebGL, WebRTC and GeoAPI is a big step towards hardening your browser from leaking unwanted information such as your real IP address while using a VPN. You can also test whether or not third parties can access your web cam and/or microphone. I ripped my laptop cam and mic out physically so nothing gets detected when I do the WebRTC leak test.
