I'm looking for a search engine that-

  1. Is not censored (no google, no kid searches, nothing that would control or modify results)
  2. Is safe (no sketchy engines, doesn't track you, isn't on the dark web [person who recommended that, you know who you are])
  3. Does not use history or (many) cookies
  4. Does not require sign-in to use
  5. Isn't a scam
Just looking for trustworthy sources, not mainstream (stuff), and isn't gonna track me or give me a virus, and isn't dark web.

Wait google is censored?!
by (165k points)
It can be. My school has Google's SafeSearch mode automatically on (as in, I can't take it off). So everything I view is automatically filtered. Plus a lot of Google's results on anything political is very one-sided.

But the USA government, the Russian government, the Chinese government, they censor things.

Yes, they do. Also, Startpage is blocked, I tried.

Wolfram Alpha?

Unblocked, but not the greatest results. Maybe for school things, but otherwise not that great.

Ok ok, dark web isn't an option, fine. I heard Brave is a good browser. Haven't tried it myself but I've heard a lot of positive reviews.

Don't get Mozilla or Opera. Mozilla is censored to high heavens and Opera is suspected to have spyware in it after it was bought by a Chinese corporation. There are a lot of privacy issues with those browsers in general so I highly recommend you don't get them anyway, even if you do think it's a conspiracy.

Startpage, DuckDuckGo, or Ecosia.

So they are all blocked. I guess they only want you on kid search engines. Or politely ask them to unblock one of these.

Duck Duck Go. Try that. By added up all your wants for a search engine together, Duck Duck Go would be the best one.
