Why are you not using duckduckgo, /g/?
The search results aren't as useful.
>>52296525
i am
and its absolutely fucking useless
>>52296525
FuckFuckNo
Fuck it!
>>52296525
It does not index as many sites as for example google ... Also the search results are quite irrelevant compared to superior Google
>inb4 Google botnet
Because it fucking sucks
>>52296525
I really tried to switch to it recently, but the results are just awful compared to Google's. The image search is complete shit as well. Ended up going back to the botnet.
>>52296525
I do use it, but it's beginning to be quite bad.
Had a friend over the other night and we were looking up questions and shit that we came across, and found the solution on Google on the first page, after checking ddg to no avail.
It's a pretty well designed botnet, I can tell you that.
>>52296525
jews?
ddg has it's servers in the us and gives shit tier results.
startpage is superior in every way.
inb4 muh "bangs"
pic related, retard.
>>52296525
Botnet.
>>52296606
why use google when you could use startpage, which gives you the same exact results as google, but anonymously and without datamining everything you do?
>>52296745
what is this exactly?
You can bind any search engine to any keyword on ff.
>>52296771
Because it do not give you the same results (how could they, if not botnet?)
>>52296771
>startpage, which gives you the same exact results as google
It doesn't though. It claims to, but try actually searching via both for a few things. Whatever Google is serving up to them, it's not the same as you get by going direct. Lots of results are plain missing.
Quick example attached. There are more missing just down the page too.
>>52296840
yes, that's the point. ddg fags often say, they use ddg for their 'bangs', which is basically the keyword search, but all the traffic gets routed through ddgs us based servers. many people don't know that ff and chrome have this functionality built in, i posted the picture so the bangsfags don't even start mentioning this shit.
>>52296860
seems like you're getting personalized search results on google. the point of startpage is to NOT get personalized results.
>>52296860
>>52296849
That's true. Personally, I use SP 99% of the time not because it's as good as Google but because it's good enough. DDG just isn't right now.
>>52296894
No, I'm not, you dumb faggot. I'm not logged into Google and I don't allow it to set cookies either.
>>52296525
more like cuckcuckgo away
>>52296918
they use the browser footprint now, too, you uneducated dullard
check panopticlick, i bet all of my money that you have a unique browser footprint
>>52296525
>Don't trust Google. Trust me. I'm a duck.
>>52296941
No they don't, you fucking retard. It'd take you less time to go confirm that I'm right for yourself and come back with your tail between your legs than to keep making yourself look like a moron.
But hey, just for you, I downloaded a browser that I've never used before AND changed my VPN to a different country, just to make sure I'm not being magically tracked by Google.
Oh look, the same results. I guess they're tracking me via the camera they have in my room and are serving up personalised results based off of that. :^)
Off you fuck, idiot.
>>52297141

>>52297175
Results are shittier than ddg
>>52296525
Used it for a bit. Search results are nowhere near as good as google results.
When you get the same results, just without all the botnet shit, come back. Until then, fuck right off.
>>52297141
Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean they don't track you. Smfh pham.
>>52296525
>>52296771

even bing gives better results than this shit
>>52297197
Then use Startpage, if you really want Google search results.
I need results when searching. Your snake oil search engines give inferior results.
>>52297240
I do not want
>Google search results
But some gold relevant search results that actually inforrm and fit my needs
ITT: fucking morons who doesn't use Google through Tor for every single search.
It's like you guys want to be tracked or something.
Why can't your retarded freetard websites actually implement useful user features instead of jerking themselves off about how anti-google they are.
What a fucking joke. Such a simple feature as a brief overview from the first link, and yet NONE of the alternatives have them.
>>52297290
>TOR
that's what startpage is for you fucking moron
>>52297284
Yeah right, not buying it. You just don't want to use any alternatives because you're too used to Google, which you've grown to 'hate' over the years due to peer pressure on /g/. DuckDuckGo, Ixquick and Startpage give plenty of good search results, but you're just too stubborn to change and try to reason your way out of it.
>>52297345
Doesn't matter, my point is that people should use Tor for their everyday searches.
>>52297175
>It's a good search engine, OP.
So is Google and it's also a botnet.
>>52296525
is google not displaying what I know should probably be there because of dmca bullshit or other reasons?
>yes
use jewgle
>no
use duckduckgofuckyourself
>>52297382
You don't even know what a botnet is.
>>52297371
>>52297290
>>52297355
Yeah, sure. I can also edit documents in wordpad, but it's not comparable to MS word.
The alternatives are inferior. There is no point in arguing against it. They perform worse, plain and clear. The only argument against google is the harvesting of information, but when I search for something, its more important I get the best results, not some stupid neckbeard principles on privacy which are broken by ISPs and whatever else get their hands on your data.
>>52297344
>Bait
Did you even try'd ddg for once?
>>52297402
You don't even know what a shitpost is.
>>52297355
Tor isn't that secure, besides if everyone would use Tor, it would be fucking useless since those 3 letter agencies would make it even less secure
>>52297344

>The alternatives are inferior. There is no point in arguing against it. They perform worse, plain and clear.
There is, because this assertion lacks an *argument*. You haven't pointed towards anything that would suggest their search results are inferior.
>The only argument against google is the harvesting of information, but when I search for something, its more important I get the best results, not some stupid neckbeard principles on privacy which are broken by ISPs and whatever else get their hands on your data.
Privacy is closely related but a separate discussion and it isn't pertinent to this discussion concerning search engines and their results. Besides, it's not like there aren't any anonymising networks.
>>52297429
Yours is. Telemetry != botnet. Look up the definition.
>>52297433
It's exactly the opposite. The more people use it, the more anonymous it would be, because at this point it's still too pseudonymous due to a lack of general usage by the public.
Anyone else noticed how bold Google's results had become?
For example
>look for a problem, say playstation problem or brand review
>always results to online shops or price offers
This wasnt like that before
>>52297593
addreview -shop
to your search and try again

The search results are shitty.
All I need is anonymous google search. startpage and ixquick are shit too.
and from what sources DDG are pulling search results anyway?
>>52296525
Local results are far worse than google, unfortunately. It works decently when searching in English, but when searching in Swedish it shows a lot of irrelevant shit.
>>52298331
>anonymous google search
kek
ok then
>>52298331
>The search results are shitty.
Assertion needs an argument.
>All I need is anonymous google search. startpage and ixquick are shit too.
This is exactly what Startpage is, matey.
>and from what sources DDG are pulling search results anyway?

Are you using the dictionary argument?
Tried using it for a while, search results are complete shit.
Also its run by a kike who sells your data.
>>52298447
There's no such thing. I'm still waiting for yours as to why the search results are supposedly inferior.
>>52298431
>This is exactly what Startpage
you are lying
>>52298486
I'm not https://startpage.com/uk/aboutstartpage/?&hmb=1
> When you search with StartPage the Web results are generated by Google. This offers you the search results and search features you may have grown accustomed to.
>>52297433
Are you fucking retarded? If more people use tor, it means more nodes for the NSA to compromise which makes traffic more secure. Also, with more users using tor, its harder for these "three letter agencies" to label people and compromise them just because of using le tor pedo browser
>>52298485
Of course there is. Like the feminist who claims your protest against privilege checking and calls for the castration aren't a protest of feminism because feminism is about equality, you are arguing that something which actively takes all your info and sneaks around doing things you didn't tell it to do isn't a botnet because it doesn't fit the dictionary definition of a botnet.
Or is Google bubbling you this badly?
>>52298508

I don't live in US, completely fucking useless when googling local shit.

It makes me wonder if tails didn't look like so much shit and had actual stuff you could do with if people would start using it as a primary OS as long as it just werks.
Something has to be done about the javascript hole, though.
>>52296860
SP has safe search turned on by default, so that might be a factor.
>>52296525
I use it, but only because of its bangs feature. I don't actually bother with the search engine itself.
For example, if I want to google something I just do '!q query', images !gi, wikipedia !w, etc.
That's actually why I love it.
>>52296525
>Why are you not using duckduckgo, /g/?
ross ulbricht used ddg.
>>52298596
Javascript and other flash plugins are incredible insecure in every version that is released, its better to steer away from it than actually try to fix it.
>>52298565
How is feminism related to search engine results? You just can't argue why the search results are inferior and try to reason your way out of it by starting a whole other discussion.
A botnet is a client-server model with malicious intent. Clients are infected, typically without consent of the owner or him being aware of this, which are called zombies and in turn infected other machines while awaiting for commands from the command & control server. This is fundamentally different than you visiting a certain website, because *you* visit the domain and not something else you're infected by.
But again, this is a separate discussion because you *still* haven't pointed towards *anything* why the search results of alternative search engines are 'inferior'.
