https://startpage.com https://startpage.com and https://ixquick.com https://ixquick.com are the alternatives I use.
The former only proxies queries from Google, whereas the latter works on multiple engines.
- dublinben 12y agoUsing a proxy for Google does absolutely nothing to avoid their judgements of websites. Startpage will not provide you with URLs that Google has banished. As an example compare the following results for "Game of Thrones S04E06" on each site: https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=game%20of%20thrones%20S04E06 https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=game%20of%20thro... https://startpage.com/do/search?q=game+of+thrones+s04e06 https://startpage.com/do/search?q=game+of+thrones+s04e06 https://duckduckgo.com/?q=game+of+thrones+s04e06 https://duckduckgo.com/?q=game+of+thrones+s04e06 The first two provide mostly spammy results or subtitles. The DDG results are mostly real sites with torrent or streaming copies of the show available. Which search engine do you think is more useful?
