Sampei.Nihira Posted May 17, 2019 Author Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) Why not use the method I use? Set as homepage Startpage and a different Search Engine. Edited May 17, 2019 by Sampei.Nihira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathwiz Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Oh, I do that already! Google is never my first choice. But most of us will have to use Google's services from time to time, and some folks prefer their search engine too; so we have to take additional countermeasures against their data collection.

I prefer the obfuscated URL of Startpage compared to the non-obfuscated URL from DuckDuckGo. Edited May 19, 2019 by Sampei.Nihira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampei.Nihira Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Switched to DuckDuckGo (also search engine) with customized settings without cookies. It is a great compromise between my language, privacy and more research results. Make your customizations and then copy/paste the link: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdc Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Right from the very start, I have been using Google only. Nothing compares better to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
