Swisscows
Your private and anonymous search engine with no tracking
Swisscows is a privacy-focused, family-friendly search engine based in Switzerland that does not track users, store IP addresses, or build user profiles. It maintains its own search index and filters out pornographic and violent content by default. A premium tier called Swisscows Pro offers fully ad-free, data-secure searching, while additional products include a VPN, secure email, cloud storage, and a private messenger called TeleGuard.
Swisscows runs searches through its own index and a partnership with Brave, filtering adult content and avoiding any storage of IP addresses or user history, with an optional paid tier that removes ads entirely.
