Goolgle with a market share of more than 80% globally. Google is
the most popular search engine for internet users. As with most things in life
just because it's the most popular does not mean it's the best for you in every
situation. Coming up we'll show you 5 search engines in different categories. You
can use as an alternative to google, some of which have better tools and layouts
that make it easier to find what you're looking for. Let's get started. let's
start with two of google's largest competitors.

| Top Five Search Engines 2022 |
1. BING:
First of which is bing
from microsoft world . Bing
search engine holds second position in the market with a market share of nearly seven percent. When doing a search
you'll notice that the layout is very similar to what you'd find on google. What I like about bing is that their bing image
search is far superior to that of google and its other rivals with a more user-friendly
layout. Also they have a rewards program called bing rewards that allows you to accumulate points while searching that can be reclaimed on their site for giftcards and other goodies.

2. DUCK DUCK GO:
If you've grown tired of having your personal data tracked and logged
by google. We'll now take a look at several privacy focused browsers. The most
well known is duckduckgo. Duckduckgo
search engine don't track your searches or online activities and the results
are aggregated for more than 100
different sources including bing yandex and
many others. You can easily change the theme by going to settings in the upper
right and selecting themes. I utilize the dark theme and there are five others for you to browse. A cool element on duckduckgo search is called bangs which rapidly takes you to the search results on other sitesThis
works on more than ten thousand sites

3. ONE SEARCH
Prior this year verizon launched a security focused web search engine called one search with results powered by bing.They claimed to have six
key privacy focused features including no cookies, no user tracking, no
search history, pure unfiltered results, keyboard encryption and share links
with confidence. Which means when you share links with others that link will
expire with in the hour. As many of
you know we're not huge fans of yahoo
which I mentioned earlier, verizon
media is the parent company of both yahoo! and one search while yahoo has had
massive data breaches in the past, one search has yet to have any major issues
that we're aware of. Hopefully with one search the extra layers of privacy
include better methods of preventing data breaches.

4. ECOSIA And Give Water:
The first of two charity search engines is Ecosia. They've been around since 2009. They used their profits to plant trees
around the world.
The other charity search engine worth checking out is give water. The profits generated from
ads are given to charitable partners who distribute clean water and sanitation
as with many others already mentioned. The search results on give water are
also powered by bing.

5. KIDDLE:
The internet can be a dangerous place especially for young
children. Kiddle is a customized
version of google powered by google safe
search with sites and pages written specifically for kids. These search
results are kid-friendly with bigger thumbnails and images with larger font. So
if you have small children i'd highly recommend that you check out kiddle.
