What’s the best alternative for ddg? They sold info to Microsoft & that’s a no-go for me. So what’s a good private search engine?

    The VPN doesn’t know what you search if you use HTTPS

      If you router your dns through it, yes it still can detect on what websites you were ( not directly the path like /comment/13232345 but the domain like google.com )

        Yes, so it only knows you visited Google, not what you search

          But still then if you click on it like wikipedia.com it knows that. That is already enough to track you where you go.

          And if you have enabled prefetching it will prefetch all the websites ( and domains ) on your search result page so with it a vpn provider can guess what you searched.

          But still its a middle man and you need to trust them a lot.
