If you want to find a website, you can type in keywords and search engines will show you a list of websites that match your criteria. But your searches can reveal a lot of private information about you: your interests, location, medical conditions, political affiliation. Google has 90% of the market share for searches, and they track everything you do. This gives them a deep, granular insight into who you are, and this is information that they sell. Search engines are also an effective tool for controlling what information people have access to, and there are many studies that look at how search engines influence the behavior of users by filtering out some search results and prioritizing others. Luckily there are many ways you can protect your privacy and take back control over your quests for information. Sometimes you sacrifice the quality of your search results by doing this, but other times you’d be surprised at how good alternative results are. We look at the following privacy-focused browsers: 00:00 - What is a search engine? 5:00 - DuckDuckGo 6:56 - MetaGer 8:00 - SearX 9:15 - Qwant 10:17 - StartPage 11:57 - Mojeek 13:01 - YaCy 14:24 - Brave Search Always assess your personal risk and threat-level when choosing a search engine, and remember that taking small steps to minimize your internet footprint can go a long way in protecting your privacy!

I do not give investment advice. *Edit: For those wondering if using a more private browser like Brave helps mitigate surveillance from using Google search. Here is a response from NBTV tech advisor Kieran Mesquita: "Brave will block some fingerprinting measures and it does block a bunch of endpoints that google uses for telemetry collection but Google has multiple redundant ways to collect this information so the actual impact is pretty negligible when using Google search itself. Most of the telemetry blocking mitigates Google’s ability to track users on 3rd party sites (via adsense and google analytics) and not when using 1st party Google sites/tools." Hope that helps!
