Mojeek: The Search Engine That Respects Your Privacy
Tired of Being Tracked? Meet Mojeek
Every time you search online, someone is watching. Whether it’s Google, Bing, or even so-called “private” search engines that rely on Big Tech results, your queries are logged, analyzed, and used to build a profile on you. If you’re serious about online privacy, you need a search engine that doesn’t just promise privacy—it delivers.
That’s where Mojeek comes in.
Why Mojeek?
Most search engines today either:
Track you directly (Google, Bing, Yahoo)
Rely on Big Tech for results (DuckDuckGo, Brave, Startpage)
Even search engines that claim to be private often pull results from Bing or Google, meaning they still depend on companies that track user behavior. Mojeek is different—it’s one of the only search engines that runs its own independent index. That means it doesn’t rely on Google or Bing for results, and it doesn’t track you.
If you want a true alternative that respects your privacy without compromises, Mojeek is one of the few real choices.
What Makes Mojeek Different?
Unlike other search engines, Mojeek:
Has its own search index – It doesn’t borrow results from Google or Bing.
Doesn’t track users – No cookies, no profiling, no targeted ads.
Runs on ethical principles – Mojeek’s mission is to provide unbiased search results without surveillance.
Offers global search coverage – While its index isn’t as large as Google’s, it’s growing every day.
Mojeek is ideal for those who want to search the web without worrying about data collection or algorithmic manipulation.
A Personal Take: One Week with Mojeek
I recently took Mojeek for a test drive for a week and was pleasantly surprised by its speed and responsiveness. One feature that stood out to me was the ability to compare results with other search engines using the Mojeek Focus. This comparison gave me a clearer picture of how search results differ across providers and highlighted Mojeek’s commitment to transparent, unbiased results.
Another aspect I appreciated was Mojeek’s stance on search engine bias and censorship. The team behind Mojeek believes that the freedom to search is a human right, and this principle guides their entire approach.
In a digital landscape where so many companies track, filter, and even censor the information we see, Mojeek’s commitment to safeguarding freedom of information feels both refreshing and necessary.
