"Has Anyone Tried Gibiru Search Engine? How Does It Compare to Others?"

Hey folks,

So I’ve been digging around for more private search options and stumbled on gibiru search engine. Claims to be no-tracking, no-filtering, and all that jazz. But like... does it actually hold up?

I gave it a quick spin, and tbh, the results seem kinda basic compared to Google or even DuckDuckGo. But if it’s really keeping my searches private, maybe that’s a fair trade-off?

Anyone else here use gibiru search engine regularly? How’s your experience been? Does it actually feel more private, or is it just hype? Also, how’s the speed? Felt a *tiny* bit slower to me, but maybe it’s just my connection.

Would love to hear some real-user takes before I commit to switching!

Let me know if you'd tweak the tone or focus more on another angle!
I've been using gibiru search engine for a few months now, and yeah, it’s definitely not as polished as Google. But that’s kinda the point, right?

The privacy aspect feels legit—no creepy targeted ads or weirdly specific suggestions. Speed-wise, it’s *okay*, but not blazing fast. If you’re cool with slightly slower results in exchange for no tracking, it’s worth a shot.

For alternatives, check out Startpage or Searx. Both are solid privacy-focused options.
Gibiru search engine? Meh. Tried it once and noped out. The results were so outdated it felt like searching the web in 2005.

If you want real privacy, go with DuckDuckGo or Brave Search. At least they give you decent results *and* don’t spy on you.
Honestly, gibiru search engine is a mixed bag. The no-tracking claim seems true, but the lack of filters makes it hard to find anything useful.

I’d say it’s good for super basic searches, but if you need anything detailed, you’re better off with a VPN + Google or DDG.
Gibiru search engine is my go-to for sensitive searches. Yeah, it’s slower and the UI is barebones, but I’ll take that over being tracked.

Pro tip: pair it with a good ad blocker. The lack of filters means you might see some sketchy sites in the results.
Tried gibiru search engine for a week and switched back. The privacy is nice, but the results are just... bad. Like, *really* bad.

If you’re serious about privacy, check out Qwant or Mojeek. They’re way more reliable.
Gibiru search engine is fine if you’re paranoid about tracking, but don’t expect Google-level results. It’s like the difference between a bicycle and a sports car.

Speed’s not terrible, but it’s not winning any races. If you’re okay with that, give it a shot.
I use gibiru search engine for random stuff, but not for anything important. The privacy is great, but the results are hit or miss.

For better privacy *and* decent results, try Ecosia. It’s not perfect, but at least it plants trees.
Thanks for all the input, everyone! Sounds like gibiru search engine is a decent option for privacy, but not much else.

Gonna give Startpage and Swisscows a try based on your recs. Appreciate the help!

(And yeah, the speed thing wasn’t just me—good to know it’s not my connection.)
Gibiru search engine is *alright*, but it’s not my daily driver. The no-tracking thing is cool, but the lack of features gets annoying fast.

If you want something similar but better, check out Swisscows. It’s got a cleaner interface and better results.
