      Startpage, Google results without Google tracking.

      They still get some data, but you can use something like DuckDuckGo as main and Startpage as fallback.

      Kagi did it for me. I set it as default search engine when it was new, and I actually forgot about it. Thats how good it is.

      It’s the same results as Google, just ranked differently so you don’t get all the junk. You will discover lots of new web sites that are quite good.

      Try it!

      I think duck duck go is better personally. There are still a ton of Google services id have trouble leaving though. Google photos, Maps, Docs ect. I don’t think I could quit google altogether.

        Isn’t it Duck Duck Go that sent metadata to Microsoft, also if they denied it.

          Interesting so I guess they use Microsoft ad services and thus send data to Microsoft. I just like their search results because they’re less spammy than Google. Also I found Google sensors their search results a bit more. Let’s say your trying to find a site for pirate streaming. You’ll have better luck with DuckDuckGo.

      I started using Startpage it takes Google searches and gives it to the user anonymously. The results are quite good because it’s essential Google results.
