Who is winner: Google or its Alternatives?

Majority of the Internet community are using Google as the best search engine. It is very popular, famous and great search engine because of its quality search results. Google provides almost the same search results which we are searching for. Besides all these usefulness many people blame Google that it is earning billions by using the data of others. But truly its not as we think about Google adds programs  Google yields its 95%  revenue with AdSense. The only bad thing about Google is its badly use of personal Data which includes your private data, personal identification information.


Therefore peoples are scared from Google and looking for other alternatives of Google, even better than Google in searching and privacy security. Many other alternatives of Google are available on Internet, some of these are DuckDuckGo, Startpage, Ixquick.

Startpage facilitate its users Google search result and hides your personal information or identification information from Google. Google only gets search queries from Startpage server that Startpage provides its users on his search pages. You gets Google search results without providing any identification to Google.



The most honest search engine on the Internet is DuckDuckGo. It is very fast and it don't track any personal data of its user. DuckDuckGo is working on the principle which is to respect privacy of its users and its search result mostly based on sources funded by crowd. There are some downsides of DuckDuckGo that it not include commercial projects and its search result is less relevant as compared to other search engines. No one is sure about the revenue source of DuckDuckGo which is also questionable.    

laxquick is another alternative of Google, it is also same as DuckDuckGo but there is only one difference between both of them is that laxquick cheerfully aggregates search results from commercial projects. This main different is making this search engine important and useful. It doesn't mean that it is better than Google, both laxquick and Google are providing different facilities and both are important. laxquick saves cookie onto your computer or device which gather information about your preferences. But like Google it doesn't handed over to the company's servers and doesn't collect identification information. laxquick automatically delete no longer than three month.
