Interesting, I remember a lot of people switching from Google and even seeing billboard ads for DDG. Even Ecosia, the site I use myself, is just returning Bing results (which are somewhat less ideologically curated compared to Google results). I don't like Bing either (Microsoft are a criminal enterprise). Has anyone used another search engine to recommend for privacy and good social values?

    yeah hosting it yourself and for yourself only isn't going to do you any good. It's strength is in a lot of people using it at once so that it muddles anything any one person is doing (sorry if that's a poor explanation im tired rn)

      Yeah that makes sense. Basically you want to generate lots of garbage data that isn't attributable to any one user.
