I have used DuckDuckGo and Ixquick for quite some years now. I try to
encourage otehrs to use it too, they don't confine you to results that
the computer "thinks" you will like.
I think DuckDuckGo is especially nice with the whole ! (bang)
searching. I use that an incredible amount. You can search the
ubuntuforums with !askubuntu <String> or askubuntu with !askubuntu <String>
There are tons of sites
https://duckduckgo.com/bang.html
And there are tons of other goodies too...

I think it is a superior search experience, though sometimes I use
ixquick if I can't find what I am looking for. It is nice having 2 to
get different results, though in the past year ddg has gotten a lot
better results.

and hope it continues to mature
@Israel - Thanks for all the input on Qupzilla. I really like it and
with further maturation will prove to be a very good lightweight
browser. You may wish to reconsider Duckduckgo and use startpage or
Ixquick ( both related to each other) if privacy is a concern or
desire. If you have the time you may wish to read this about Duckduckgo:

Yeah. I can even watch Amazon on it (with libhal, of course). I have
click to play enabled. Of course you must install flash
separately, it
isn't like Chrome (as far as I know). Though it is WebKit, so it
might
be able to support Pepper, and use those plugins... though Chromium
doesn't... so anyhow.... You can do all the normal stuff on it.
(Or at
least all the normal stuff I have tried). It saves passwords, and has
excellent privacy management features. And as a plus it includes
Duckduckgo as a search engine!!
I haven't tried to open flash games, or anything like that, though.
