DuckDuckGo
Probably the most well-known Google alternative, DuckDuckGo offers a privacy focused search engine that blocks ad trackers and doesn’t sell your search information. Is it perfect? No—and it’s had its own privacy controversies, to be sure. But, big picture, DuckDuckGo offers a pretty good way to explore the internet while not having your personal information and search activity sucked up by a giant (not?) evil corporation. Its search algorithm isn’t as powerful as Google’s but, for most searches, it gets the job done.
Rating: A reliable, privacy-focused option, if you’re looking to surf.
