Search engines besides (((DuckDuckGo)))? (technology)
submitted 6.7 years ago by jewd_law
Been using JewJewGo search engine until I found out the owner (((Gabriel Weinberg))) has a sordid history when it comes to privacy, no surprise there. What do you Voats use? I've already switched to Opera and Waterfox. Thanks in advance.

It's a search engine that uses other search engines, but you can allow/disallow certain ones like google, wikipedia, etc. and it doesn't track you.
It even lets you download the source code if you wish.

using searx and start page, the page doesn't reload after closing the browser(waterfox).
eg: after restart the page clears and doesn't show what i searched for before on any tabs.
a privacy thing i imagine, but any way to change that?
