I like qwant and startpage as a good alternative.
- megalomanu 6y agoI agree, but the main reason that I'm using Qwant myself is that non-English results on DuckDuckGo are not good at all. Qwant results are pretty convincing today, much better than a few years ago when it looked like an opportunist product. The only thing I'm really missing from Google is the integration with Maps, Google Search is so convenient for finding a good restaurant, shop or bar around you. There were alternatives in the past (like Yelp) but Google killed them all, at least in France.
- holri 6y agoFor maps I use OpenStreetMap. Good enough for me and I can fix issues and add data myself and contribute for a common good.
