Moreover, it has a clean interface and brings the search results from Yahoo, Yandex, and other search engines besides Google.

Qwant is another privacy-oriented search engine that is based out of France. The website claims never to harvest your personal data for ad-targeting. As a privacy-focused search website, Qwant sports many features similar to DuckDuckGo. One of them is called “Qwick Search Shortcuts,” which is just like the latter’s “Bangs” feature.

Swisscows

Swisscows has its own ad system where ads are solely targeted based on your query and not even your location. Another reason why I love Swisscows is the grid of suggestion tags it offers whenever you type in a query. For example, typing Windows 10 suggests other words, like laptop, install, apps, update, features, etc.
