Are you worried that mechanisms like Prism or its successors can one day come at you and bite you in the you-know-what? Well, many people are, and they’ve already started looking around for alternative search engines to use due to the recent search privacy concerns with Google.
As online business people this should be a clear indication for us to look into these new search engines too because quite soon we might find a big part of our audience using them on a daily basis. So, having our listings on the top spots is as important now as it has ever been.
Here are the best alternative search engines that are gaining more popularity as we speak.
1. DuckDuckGo
DuckDuckGo’s no.1 priority and goal is to make all searches anonymous. It is probably the most private search engine on this list. In a nutshell, no search terms get stored or sent anywhere, everything stays 100% anonymous. DuckDuckGo even created a custom page to explain how search privacy works online.
