So to clarify I have heard, that DDG is not enough for Privacy and still has some loopholes, for example: DDG uses Amazon to host there Servers, Bing for there search quires and the sades part about this is that DDG uses the V2 Onion links, instead of the V3 ones.

StartPage is owned by a for profit advertisment company and also uses Amazon hosting to host there website.

Qwant is malicious to Tor users by forcing them to do a CAPTCHA, that does not even work and this all is of course all hosted on Amazon Servers.

So are the other Search Engines that really respect your privacy and use there own search queries?

Please do not suggest me: Bravesearch, Mojeek, Peekier, Gibiru or Searx, because those are all have the same flaws as the 3 main privacy search engines above (Searx is not a search-engine.)

    Why Searx would be a bad alternative? I mean, if you’re looking for a FOSS, privacy respecting search engine. Why Searx would be a not for you? I know that is not a search engine, is a meta-search engine. But what’s the problem with that??

      it’s not only about anonymizing the query. it’s about not sending it out to google and multiple other companies (directly or indirectly).
