I’m trying to degoogle. I’ve heard good things about DuckDuckGo and I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and it’s pretty solid. But I’m just wondering what the Lemmy/Piefed community prefer for a search engine.

      Not necessarily.

      You configure which engines you want it to use.

      Although lately the list of engines which are working well seems to be quite small.

      Yes, but my search data doesn’t leave my house. Also since my IP changed multiple times a week (not quite daily, but close), I prefer this to using someone else’s instance. There is some obfuscation to be gained by searching through a public insurance as well, but my insurance is still used by multiple people, not just me.
