Unpopular opinion : Bing is a better search engine than Google when it comes to piracy (lemmy.world)

Google is way to compliant to DMCA request resulting in bad result. Bing doesnt seems to care and will happily link to live and replay of sport event (the main reason I use it personnaly) even as a first result.

PS : If you're french dont forget to change your DNS or any quality site will not load

DuckDuckGo has been harming people's privacy for years now. Ironically in part because it allows Microsoft's ad network through due to their partnership. Luckily there are many other alternatives out there.

Sharing is caring friend; offer some names so that we may benefit from your research.

Qwant sends data to Bing ads, and didn't tell its users about it for five years.

Yandex is a Russian company with strong government links that I wouldn't trust in any way.

Didn't realize. Removing those.

Ecosia, I've been using it a while now and they plant trees with there profit, I have personally covered the cost of planting 75 trees over the last couple years just be using it instead of Google. They have planted over 175mil trees and they are transparent with there finances.

That comment doesn't even talk about it It only mentions a bunch of alternatives without anything else.

/edit: I guess you thought they meant alternatives. Pretty sure they meant the privacy issue you claimed as fact.

At least that's what I was interested in.

[–] GallowBooby@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yep...I'm interested in the specifics of the privacy issues.
