Swisscows and Bare are both built for people who want more from search than the mainstream offers. Here is a straight look at how they differ.
Swisscows is a Swiss, family-friendly search engine that filters explicit content by default and markets itself on privacy and data protection law.

Try Bare in one search
The fastest way to decide is to run a real search. Bare gives you plain links and a single quick fact when it is confident, with no account, no history, and no profile, and your query reaches the index through our server rather than straight from your device.
