What Are The Alternatives To Google
Google is now the preferred search engine for the majority of Internet searches. In many countries, Google has more market share than 80percent. But who are its main rivals? What alternatives do you have in the search for information via the Internet? We'll be discussing the strengths and weaknesses of two different search engines. See this link for an example.
Microsoft's Bing Search Engine
Microsoft's Bing is possibly the most popular alternative to Google. From a visual perspective the two search engines are very much alike. Both search engines give information about every result (a title with a description, as well as a link to the actual result). Furthermore, some search results include a tab on the right side of the navigation pane with information of interest. Bing also has vertical search engines that cater to certain types of content like videos, images and news. These may be displayed on separate pages or within the main search engine result page. Google has been criticized for displaying YouTube videos prominently on videos on searches. But this hasn't been a problem for Bing. Bing, like Google is also able to analyze the user's behavior by recording information about searches and the results they click. This lets Bing directly to show personalised advertisements in the results of its searches. Bing can also display personalized advertisements within Windows.

Duckduckgo Search Engine
DuckDuckGo is a third search engine that can be used instead of Google. When you start a search, DuckDuckGo performs the search for you. DuckDuckGo gets Bing's results and then displays them in your browser. The engine does not bring you into direct contact. Bing doesn't have access to any of your personal details like IP address, or location. DuckDuckDuckGo also shows ads in its search results. It is however unable to serve personalized advertising as the US search engine does not collect any user information. The search engine will show ads based on keywords or phrases that match the word "holidays". It won't be able to use anything else it knows about you, since it's made the decision not to use it. Bing and Google are at our view very alike. It's up to you choose which one is more attractive. DuckDuckGo is user-friendly and anonymous.
