I think this project is worth supporting.

"Mojeek is the only general search engine crawling the web that does not track its users. The big two from the USA, Google and Bing (joined by Yandex of Russia plus Baidu and Sogou from China) track their users and collect data on them. Mojeek stands alone in not doing that and has maintained its independence since inception."

To Track, or Not to Track? 15 Years Striving for Search Engine Independence

“I was watching the search queries come in on Mojeek and where they came from. Back then, the search rate was a trickle. I noticed a referral coming from Google. A search immediately followed so was presumably the same person. The searcher probably felt safe, because they entered a search query about a sensitive medical matter. Of course, I had no idea who this was, nor was I interested. Mojeek had never included any tracking of anything personal. But this instance got me thinking more about what it meant for people in general, and particularly vulnerable people, to live in fear of being watched over. Being tracked as they sought information and places to go online. By this time I knew pretty well how Google collected data and how its search engine worked. So I watched the queries, for a few more hours that day, and saw more referrals from Google immediately followed by what looked like very personal queries. I wanted people to know, rather than guess, that they were safe using Mojeek so I put up a page clarifying the position on personal tracking. It was a natural commitment to make, the right thing to do and respectful of a basic human right.”
