I stopped use it Google years ago. I started using Bing but had to stop that as it would divert me to MSN to sign in when clicking a link for a news article. Like a news article for The Independent or The Times or any other.

I then started using DuckDuckGo which is powered by Bing, but found it wasn’t great at many searches.

I know use Arc Search most of the time and click browse for me to get the information I want without the bullshit. Search is essentially dead due to greed.

Startpage and Qwant are the best alternatives IMO.

Thanks. I’ll check these out.

What do you prefer about each of them?

qwant = 95% bing results, startpage = 98% google results. They are slimmer. They don’t keep your search history or ip address. better for privacy but not much better for search results.
