Do you mind clarifying what you mean by "being tracked" here ?
Regardless of exactly what you mean, if tracking is the only criteria, what do you think you'd gain by this "paid search that's not tracking" vs using DuckDuckGo or using Google with a fresh incognito window ?
- gigatexal 6y agoTracking is only useful for advertising. I figure a subscription would mean advertising-less search.
- drivebycomment 6y agoPlease define tracking. That term can mean many, many different things. Also, ads-free is completely different and orthogonal from tracking-free. Anyway, then the follow up question would be: if ads-free search is what you want, why would you pay for it, instead of using various adblock ?
- gigatexal 6y agoAdvertising free search does have a cost. Adblocking only works because not everyone does it. I also don’t use chrome. Eventually chrome will be the surveillance device. Tracking: anything that can tie my searches or data back into a useful set of one or lore data points for selling ads against. I don’t see how one can have a tracking free ads based search engine. I guess with ads based on context of the web property one visits, truck ads on 4x4.com for example.
