What is your use case, I 'm just simply interested.

My workflow for finding things, I know where I want to search it for, e.g. a torrent site or a specific forum or network, and search there. If I would search for something on a general search engine like those, even if it would give good results, I would have to weed out the fake and scam results. While if I search on an already reputable site or source I don’t have to deal with that.

movies, tv shows, things like that. I’m not American so search keeps suggesting things from my country and most of the time I only get “review/geek sites” when I search for something specific.

There are local trackers everywhere, try to get an invite to them. I’m Hungarian, we have several invite only trackers for dubbed movies and other local content. Even they are invite only, it’s really easy to get an invite as a lot of folks have account on them.

For that kind of content I would look for your local communities on reddit, fb or whatever social media is common in your country. Try to find out what others use, and try to get an invite there.

So you want to search or want suggestions? A good tracker also has suggestions. You should never need to search on a search engine and it would also be slower.

I think so? It’s pretty solid and it works well overall. Anything is better than Google or Bing for your online privacy. If you want more privacy, you can try using SearxNG or 4get

I’ve been using duck duck for the last 2 years and it’s fine if you don’t need localized results. If I’m searching for x thing in y area then I go back to Google for that.

I use ddg to search for things in my area all the time. I just use near <zip code> instead of near me.

I’m not google free though. I pay for YouTube premium and have a couple Gmail addresses.
