Mojeek – European search engine
A genuinely independent search engine from the UK that runs its own web crawler and index rather than reselling Google or Bing results. No tracking, no user profiling, and a no-tracking privacy policy since day one.
Quick facts
It's one of very few search engines with a genuinely independent index and crawler rather than reselling Google or Bing results, and there's been a no-tracking policy since day one in 2006.
Result quality and freshness can't match Google's for obscure or very recent queries, since Mojeek's index is far smaller in scale.
Why does it score 86?
Incorporated in Hove, UK – outside the EU/EFTA, which caps the legal score even though it's a genuinely independent European search engine.
Independently owned and privately held, with no outside investors.
Mojeek runs its own web crawler and index in the UK rather than reselling Google or Bing results.
GDPR-compliant, but the search engine isn't open source, which keeps the accountability score modest.
