Sorry to get off track here (last two posts)…
I went to Ixquick and it has a disclaimer: “enhanced by Google”.
So, I guess I just wonder just how “private” it really is?
]]>Hi Doug,
Ixquick says it compiles the result from 10 different search engines. I think DuckDuckGo just uses Google results but blocks tracking.
]]>Hi Doug,
The real problem with Google is not the tracking. That can be blocked. The problem is that Google is manipulating search results so that some pages rank poorly and are not seen, it is stopping sites it does not like from getting advertising revenue and it is also censoring on Youtube.
]]>I think all search engines these days piggyback off of Google one way or the other. I look at Ixquick and DuckDuckGo as a “firewall” between me and Google. Sort of like using a Tor browser. None of this will stop the black hats, but maybe slow them down a little. 😉
]]>Hi Doug,
That also gets results from Google and nine other search engines. I like it, when put in the Firefox browser it returns my Revelation Commentary as number five under the keywords revelation commentary.
]]>Hi George,
They block tracking but I think the search uses Google
