Thanks for sharing - didnt know. Thats a long list ..... So which search engine is good and privacy friendly then?
It depends on what you're trying to be private from. Kagi has been good to me so far, my goal is mainly to escape from corporate/ad profile tracking.
Kagi is great. Excellent search results for the most part, better than either DDG or Google in my experience.
It's disingenuous to say there's no point in striving for privacy if you're not going to go completely off grid. There are always better and worse options.
If someone said they were concerned about their sugar intake would you tell them to just stop eating entirely? It's possible to take steps towards privacy-friendly services without cutting yourself off from the modern world in the same way as you can cut back on sugar and still eat food.
You absolutely do not need to "burn all your devices" to improve your privacy, suggesting so is unhelpful at best.
This all-or-nothing mentality is harmful to any cause.
"Don't let perfect be the enemy of good"
And do so every evening and start fresh everyday
