Google stores extensive personal data from its users through various services. Many individuals seek to enhance their privacy and reduce data tracking by replacing Google services such as Search, Gmail, and Maps. Privacy-focused alternatives include DuckDuckGo for general searches, which avoids tracking and IP storage, and Startpage, which provides anonymized Google results without personal data usage. For email, Proton Mail offers secure, privacy-centric email services based in Switzerland. These alternatives allow users to maintain convenience while gaining more control over their personal data.
Google search delivers brilliant results—but it lets them look deep into your personal life. If you don't want to be tracked while surfing, you can rely on search engines that take privacy seriously.
DuckDuckGo is perhaps the best-known Google alternative. It completely dispenses with tracking, does not store IP addresses and still delivers solid results, especially for general search queries.
Startpage shows anonymized Google search results—without any tracking, cookies or personalized advertising. This means we get the usual quality of Google searches without our personal data being stored.
Proton Mail is a secure e-mail service from Switzerland that consistently focusses on data protection.
