Search engines that respects your privacy # 1

in #privacy7 years ago

Hello! I want to leave here a recommendation for SEARX search engine, and an alternative to google and bing.

Searx search engine with a particularity, which is your level of security. It came in 2013, after a former CIA agent revealed that US security agencies conducted mass surveillance practices through which they could access virtually any information on the web.

About Searx
Searx is a metasearch mechanism, adding the results of other search engines while not storing information about its users.

Why use searx?
Searx may not offer you personalized results like Google, but it does not generate a profile about you.
Searx does not care about what you are looking for, never shares anything with a third party and can not be used to compromise you.
Searx is free software, the code is 100 % open and you can help make it better.
If you care about privacy, want to be a conscious user or believe in digital freedom, make Searx your default search engine or run on your own server

Technical details - How does it work?
Searx is a metasearch mechanism, inspired by the search project.
It provides basic privacy, mixing your queries with searches on other platforms, without storing search data. Queries are made using a POST request in each browser (except chrome *). Therefore, they do not appear in our records, nor in the history of your url. In the case of Chrome * users, there is an exception, searx uses the search bar to execute GET orders.
Searx can be added to your browser's search bar; In addition, it can be configured as the default search engine.

How can I do this?
Searx appreciates your concern about the records, then take the code and run yourself!
Add your Searx to this list to help other people regain their privacy and make the Internet more free!
The more decentralized the Internet, the more freedom we have!
