Should You Consider Using Alternative Search Engines in 2025?

Alternative to Google like Baidu and Bing, alternative to the concept of search engines like LLM models, or alternative to the entire reality as using Ouija boards to find the answers I'm looking for?

Even though Google is still the big player, options like DuckDuckGo, Startpage, and Brave Search are starting to get popular because they focus more on privacy. Take DuckDuckGo for instance. It doesn’t keep track of your searches which is nice for people who are fed up with being shadowed by ads.

Which browsers do you consider the safest, @MisterF sir?

My reply was to not just focus on Google for traffic, but look too at other engines.

Tor is the one, I have used for several works. Not Ultimate but needed one.

I’d say based on my own personal experiences via analytics reports Google and Bing are the only ones worth mentioning for most people at least outside of the other major economic regions - Russia, China and Japan. If you are trying to optimise for bing, you’ll be hitting most of the small search providers anyway as they all use bings algos. Other than that, the only other general search engine to watch is Meta still testing it’s own but they seem determined.

It’s a good idea to explore other search engines like DuckDuckGo offer better privacy, show less filtered results, and can open up new SEO or regional opportunities especially as Google becomes more unpredictable and data-heavy.

I may not know all of what is happening in the industry

But I know for sure that SEO is dieing
The ranking part of websites is dieing

It's seems you can't get anything up this days without advertising

You want your search engine to respect your privacy and not suggest that you buy a fridge when you search "how to fix a broken heart"

You want your search engine to respect your privacy and not suggest that you buy a fridge when you search "how to fix a broken heart"

then people would start complaining they are getting "random" ads and isn't good at all.

Google is like a SUV powerful with many features, but it tracks where you go and if you don't need to track your records try other Search Engines which are quite like Electric Cars......................
