PrivacyWall: My Favorite Search Engine


Published on February 27, 2021

PrivacyWall, a search engine, defends against unwanted data collection, which all other search engines assemble without user permission. Most search engines collect data for big companies to earn money from them by running their products’ or services’ ads. The ads are being run according to the user’s searches and other collected data. The personal data, including browsers like Google Chrome collect include:

  1. Location
  2. Source IP address
  3. Your search history
  4. Time spent on a website
  5. Other accounts you are logged in

Data like employment status, medical problems, financial status, likes and dislikes, religion, political beliefs, and much more information is also gathered. And they keep the record linked to your profile.

If this worries you, to avoid such data collection, a private search engine has become compulsory. And, the best private search engine today is PrivacyWall.

PrivateView

PrivateView is a free service offered by PrivacyWall which secures your personal information to prevent it from being stolen by browsers and websites. Even the website will never come to know that you have visited it. The service is real-time, and the website will see that “PrivacyWall” has visited them. This option makes it a private search engine.

Where can I find the option of PrivateView? This is the question people often ask. The option is next to every website’s link when you search on the best private search engine.

Moreover, you can easily access this feature by adding the PrivacyWall extension to your browser or making it your standard search engine. You can also install the app on your mobile.
