Social recommendations and mentions

We have tracked the following product recommendations or mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you see what people think about Swisscows and what they use it for.
  • As we all are highly dependent on the information searched for, most engines filter for best fit to interact and sell but not the information we really are looking for, so what is the best search engine who really tries to only filter out the information we are looking for?
    For searching things up when you're in PG rated surroundings and don't want heart attack: https://swisscows.com/en. Source: 11 months ago
  • What is going on with search engines these days?
    DuckDuckGo & Co. - DDG, Swisscows and Ecosia all use Bing index. For people that only care about privacy, this is a non-issue. But I don't like the idea that the entirety of web currently depends on just two companies. So I personally don't use them. Same logic extends to Startpage, which is owned by an ad company & uses Google's results. As they rely on the Big 2, they're closer to frontends/MetaSearch engines in... Source: about 1 year ago
  • WTF Delaware
    I recommend you use swisscows.com to search instead, its not censored in the same way that duckduckgo.com and google.com is censored with different results appearing. Source: over 1 year ago
  • I thought Brave didn't collect data? Am I missing something.
    I use brave, google (for technical subjects when I can't find answer with brave), and for anything that has a remote chance to be censored I use engines with their own crawlers : fireball.de, gigablast.com, yandex.com and other browsers to be sure but I don't think they have their own crawler : lycos.com, swisscows.com, mojeek.com, metager.de. We would need a locally served meta search engine that search on all... Source: over 1 year ago

  • Israel mainly to blame for Palestine conflict, says UN report | High-level report also concluded that Israel was pursuing 'complete control' over the occupied Palestinian territory

  • DuckDuckGo Censorship | Down Ranks Russian Disinformation Sites

  • Should I leave a campaign over the DM's intolerance to my sexual orientation?

  • Struggling to access tutanota email
    No, I'm in the US. What is a VPN? I have not changed any settings recently, and it worked fine last week. Would changing the browser have changed settings? I did have the same problem with swisscows.com . Good idea, I will try to see if I can log in on my husband's computer. Source: about 2 years ago
  • Duckduckgo alternatives
    The name doesn't sound like much but, I just found out https://swisscows.com and it gives better results than Qwant for those outside EU. I'll be using it as my secondary engine, next to DDG, and see how it grows. Source: about 2 years ago

  • Can someone explain Searx and its instances like I am 5?
    I want to change my search engine from duckduckgo (after their stance on Russia, but I was always skeptical of them and was already exploring some alternatives) to something which displays unbiased results irrespective of what my entry is, and I have noticed many people suggesting Searx as a better alternative. I am also aware of other search engines like Swisscows, Mojeek, Metager, etc. However, I want to... Source: about 2 years ago
  • Duckduckgo is now censoring search results
    I use https://swisscows.com/ of late, seems less restrictive in how it ranks basic Bing with other results. Source: about 2 years ago

  • Kremlin reacts to US senator’s call to assassinate Putin - “unacceptable and outrageous” de-facto advocating an act of terrorism.
    I have found that copying an RT title to a search engine (I use https://swisscows.com/) will get results from any number of news sites around the world that have republished their articles. Hopefully Reddit won't ban them all. Source: about 2 years ago
  • What's the best search engine
    Qwant.com is a good one as well as swisscows.com. They are both located in Europe (France and Switzerland) and I am happy with their results. Are they the best ? It depends on your use case I guess. Source: over 2 years ago
  • Dr Malone broke the algorithm and now Google is struggling to manually edit the results when you search for mass formation psychosis. Try it. Never seen this before.
    • Brave Search (https://search.brave.com/) - a beta version of a search engine linked to the popular Brave browser. • DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/) is probably the most famous privacy-focused search engine. • Disconnect Search (https://search.disconnect.me/) - maintained by DuckDuckGo, with transparent privacy policy. • eTools CH (https://www.etools.ch/) is a privacy-focused search engine aggregator that...

12 Google Alternatives: Best Search Engines To Use In 2019
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.

Swisscows is made by Hulbee AG, which is a tech company based in Switzerland. Like other private search engines on this list, this one does not build tracking profiles or use unique identifiers for its users. A key difference from the others though, is that this is a semantic search engine. This means that it uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to evaluate the context of a user’s search. As a result,...
