Google’s search engine is the default place to search online for about 85 percent of users worldwide. Unfortunately, Google uses your searches to gather information that you might prefer to keep private.
There are other search engines you can use that claim that they don’t collect as much of your information as Google. Some of the most popular alternative search engines include DuckDuckGo, Startpage and Qwant.
Their popularity has grown as more people begin to investigate ways to reduce their digital footprint. This growth is likely due to the increasing amounts of personal data collected through social media, websites, and direct marketing.
If you’re concerned about keeping your digital footprint as small as possible you should consider using one of these alternative search products.
