About

Since we never collect your data, we never track your data! We respect your privacy! It is in our DNA to protect every user! With Swisscows you are 100% anonymous! Have our own servers and do not work with a cloud or third party! Family is the most important cell of our society! If morality and decency disappear, then neighborliness and love also disappear. The digital media are indispensable and yet pose a threat and challenge to the not yet formed perceptions of children and adolescents. Even parents and schools are not prepared for it. Our children grow up in a digital environment that has many benefits, but also many dangers. It is the responsibility of parents and guardians to engage with this topic intensively. The digital transformation has not only arrived swiftly, but is also driving forward at a rapid pace.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It's simple. It's private. It gives accurate results. I like knowing I'm not being tracked like with Google and Microsoft. I feel safe using this browser.
  • Extremely Secure. Hosted in a country that laws don't allow the sharing of data or can face jail.It is an EXTREMELY reliable search engine that provides ACCURATE results.
  • I liked it up until May 2023. It worked fine until the past month. I liked the simple use and uncluttered feel.
  • None. I like the idea but it isn't the reality.
  • Provide by a Swiss company. It is Illegal to collect any data in Switzerland. Doing so, could result in Jail. Search results are excellent. They piggyback off Bing so search results are excellent. Startpage has been sold and the new owners are unknown at this point. So, security isn't guaranteed anymore. Some day when Swisscows become bigger, they may own their own data centers and be 100% independent. I have used many search engines. Google, Bing (indirectly) Startpage, Ecosia. I use predominantly Swisscows now and when security is not important or use VPN, I will use Ecosia so I can help plant trees.

Cons

  • It no longer shows which websites you've already visited. It used to to the website names magenta, meaning you've visited there already. Now it doesn't. It was very useful to know this information.
  • Piggybacks MS Search database. But, It must be either MS or Google until they have their own data center. No other Cons.
  • Since this month full screen ads appear when I am simply scrolling through a search item. Then I have to X out which only vomits another one. Then hurls another one. This is unacceptable and I will be deleting Swisscows unless you Fix it.
  • I believe Swisscows is a government controlled search engine based on the search results I get.
  • The only beef I have is BING. I try and not support the BIG BOYS as they have monopolies and are causing problems. If these companies existed 100 years ago, ANTI Trust and MONOPOLY litigation would kick in to protect customers.
