Gigablast: The Private Search Engine that Does NOT Use Google or Bing’s Data

There are many search engines today that claim to protect your privacy, with Duckduckgo.com being the most popular alternative to Google and Microsoft's Bing. But the problem with these alternative privacy-oriented alternative search engines, is that they still use the data and search results from either Google or Bing (Duckduckgo.com uses Bing), so even if your search is private, it does not solve the issue of censorship where Google and Bing use algorithms to decide which results to display for your search. The only search engine that I have found so far that builds its own data set and does NOT use Google or Bing, is Gigablast. Gigablast is also the engine behind private.sh, launched in 2020, which claims to be the only private search engine that offers cryptographically-secured privacy. While private.sh has a cleaner interface, I still like Gigablast.com because it has more features. For example, in the settings, you can choose to "Show banned results." There are also links to run your search through duckduckgo.com to see results based on Bing's data, and startpage to see results based on Google's data.
