I was using DuckDuckGo for some time, but heard that there are better alternatives. I’m confused, because DDG is used by default in TOR browser, and other privacy respecting browsers (ex. Librewolf). Can you guys recommend any other search engine, and tell me why u recommend it?
Or, is DDG enough?
Give Whoogle a try. Just choose an instance; or, you can combine it with Farside. This way it will choose the best instance for you.
I forgot to mention, it gives you Google results without tracking, or any ads.
Can Farside be used for the browser search box or do you mean visit Farside as a one-time thing to find an instance?
I’m not sure I’m following, so I’ll answer the question for both of the ways I can interpret that question.
If you mean to use
site:operator in your <favorite-search-engine>, I don’t think you can.You can use it to choose your instance once, but why not to always use it?
You can use it in the URL bar. Except the domain itself, the rest of the URL is remaining the same.
https://gооglе.соm/search?q=nyan cat would become https://farside.link/whoogle/search?q=nyan cat.
(You can do https://search.garudalinux.org/search?q=nyan cat, but Farside is fantastic.)
Whoa that’s awesome! Think this might be a better solution than LibRedirect for me.
