Most search engines that claim to be private (StartPage, Qwant, etc) are fake and will try their hardest to sneakily profit from user data, with DuckDuckGo being the greatest example as they were caught selling user data to Microsoft, only stopping so when they were caught. The only search engine I would recommend is SearXNG. It’s feature rich and is primarily ran by privacy enthusiasts.
The link you provide says otherwise though? Serving Microsoft ads now equals to selling user data? I’m pretty confused 🤔
Nowhere in that article does it say they were selling data to Microsoft…
Searx and SearxNG are metasearch engines - front-ends to other, existing search engines. They still have to use commercial search engines (mostly) to run queries and get results.
But is more anonymous to use a Searx/SearxNG instance with many others users.
