Do you think searching on Google in incognito mode keeps your searches private? Not really. Your inquiries are never private unless you seek more secure alternatives, no matter which search engines you use.
According to the industry estimates by Internet Live Stats, Google handles almost 4 billion searches a day on average. And the number of people using the search giant daily comes to more or less 1.7 billion.
This hints at the potential treasure trove of data Google holds because it tracks your searches, as you’d already know.
But that doesn’t make it the only search engine responsible for breaching users’ privacy. Instead, the relatively less popular tools like Yahoo, Bing, and others also practice the same money-making strategy, i.e., monetizing users’ data.
Precisely, all the top search engines like Google serve as data compilation tools for advertising companies, helping them go on you with targeted ads.
Therefore, unless you use a secure search engine, your information ends up in the hands of a third party, and you (the user) become the product.
So, read along and find out the best private search engines you can use to browse the internet without compromising your privacy.
