Just use tor, dumb nigger. Nothing else would give you good enough anonymity, other than being a honeypot scam.
>Startpage retrieves the site and shows it for you
Fuck I hate this. Did you know, this is the easiest way of tracking what websites (and individual pages) you visit?
I personally don't care what search engine to use, the right tool fits the right purpose for me, until it asks for too much fingerprintable data. Be it Google, Yandex, Baidu, Searx instances or whatever. Just pretend you're it's target audience: for Google I spoof browser user agent, screen dimensions and java script acceleration as average pajeetphone, for Yandex it's something like Windows 10 and Opera, for Baidu - XP and Pale Moon. Then I translate my queries to target languages and send a search query. A script automatically clicks a few random links with obfuscated tracking address, sometimes on second or third pages, but I myself pick the only needed one and visit it after deobfuscating search engine's tracking data and extracting target website address in clear text. I then visit this website from different IP address not forgetting to block all tracking scripts dumb webmasters are used to put on their sites, if a Google or Yandex finds out someone visited a website they just gave up on a search query 2 seconds ago, well, it' a no rocket science to correlate these two issues.

>>2434Dude, your "nothing to hide" argument is invalid. You need to take privacy more seriously

>>2434Nothing to hide now, but once you do, it'll become very difficult dragging your cyber footprint alongside you. Learned that the hard way.

>>2436>>2444Not that poster, but in what way is his post supportive of the "nothing to hide" mentality? To the limits of my own knowledge, it seems as though he believes in the opposite?
No.2454
>>2445Not either of the two posters above, but maybe because he's okay with letting the search companies still see what he's looking at, albeit making it more difficult to tell who the person behind the screen is. Privacy vs anonymity. He's more anonymous with that strategy, but what he's looking at is still visible to those companies.
>>2434By the way, Startpage sends the Startpage IP address to the links and not the computer's address. I used to use startpage (and still do when I'm at school), and I use that function often as well…. The only problem with Startpage is that you have to trust they don't actually give Google your data, which is the same with other search engines.

Call me stupid, I almost never search through search engine. I know which site i go to and when i have to make a research i use Searx and it's really rare. I was in a similar situation then i just realize that searching website that i know the addresses of is completely irrational.
You give less information to a third party, plus it's faster. Think about it what do you need your search engine for in the first place?
No.2466
>>2457How do you find a site in the first place? How do you search for info on that site if it's own search engine is either non-existent or crippled? Are you the guy who types cd.. cd.. ls in terminal instead of
find / -name '%arg%'
?

>>2433Use a socks proxy, like the one built into the tor server.
Then just route your traffic over it.
