Use a VPN in a private VM.
- hedora 8y agoOr, duck duck go with the g! prefix, if you really must use google with bubbling turned off (instead of a reasonable alternative).
- Nullabillity 8y agoDDG isn't magic. It doesn't bubble you on its own results (or at least it claims not to), but it can't change how external providers behave.
- pferde 8y agoSadly, in this day and age, a good, usable search engine that does not enclose you into your own bubble is magic.
- Forbo 8y agoUsing !s will proxy through Startpage, so you get Google results through an actual search proxy instead of just going to Google (I don't think !g "un-bubbles" anything).
- LilBytes 8y agoUse a VPN in a private VM so you can use Google and get decent search results? Is your response satire? I want to believe it is.
- mirimir 8y agoWhat can I say? I mean, it works. Using Google via VPN services, there are many other users. Occasionally someone's been a jerk, and Google gives you the stinkeye. But then you switch to a different server. I added "private VM" in case OP was sharing a machine with his girlfriend. But really, it's always prudent to use VPNs from dedicated VMs. Because that compartmentalizes tracking. And using VMs also simplifies managing machine state. You can use a fresh clone for each session, for example. Or boot from a static image. I like DDG and StartPage, for sure. But sometimes I just gotta use Google.
- tiredyam 8y agoIt’s not, I do something similar. Google results are just that much better for certain content I have found
