What search engines y'all using?

Biggest mistake I ever made was to install Duck Duck Go. Have had nothing but problems since the day I installed it. VERY big mistake on my part. Registry problems, connection problems, etc. My computer guru told me it comes bundled with some units and he heard it's been a big problem. But that's me. Sounds like these other guys are doing just fine with it. Anyway, went back to good 'ol spy-on-you-all-the-time Google.

Hate to question your computer guru, but you do not "install" a search engine. You simply tell your browser to use a particular web site like google, bing, DuckDuckGo, etc when performing a search. It sounds like you installed some malware that tricks the unknowing into thinking they are doing the right thing.

Google is a virus according to my IT guy with whom I have worked for some 20 years. He highly dissuades against anything google. His geek knowledge astounds me as to how much he knows. Our company for which I work uses his skills exclusively and he is in high demand... so I trust his opinion: friends don't let friends use google.

Duck Duck here

StartPage... the world's most private search engine.

That's what they say on their webpage.

And one more!

All if not most browsers have a private web search option, including on the Mac/Safari. In Edge it's "New InPrivate Windows". The option may be worded differently, but it's the same function.
