Search engines, tracking and bubbles

What search engine do you use?

Is there anything such as an too effective search engine?

Do you limit tracking in any way?

Does society or the state have any responsibility in steering search results, or should companies be able to roam free?

Usually DuckDuckGo, unless I need to look up an image or map location. Or translation... lol. Then google.

I Yahoo! most of the time. But I also have donottrackplus installed, so hopefully that works to keep this bubbling to a minimum. Bing is my second choice, then finally Google.

Isn't Yahoo powered by Bing now?


Anywhoo, I use Google. I don't block location tracking and I don't care about it.

Did Mars pay you to say that to me?!

But yes, I think it is 100% converted over now to bing powered. I'd have to check to be sure, though.

Don't bother checking, it is.

My check's in the mail!

I alternate between Bing and Google.

I block all cookies except those on white-listed sites.

I use google, and rely on ghostery.

I haven't watched the clip, so no further comments.
