Trusted by millions to build the world's alternative search engine since 2004 as pioneer of private, transparent and sustainable access to knowledge on the web
Building your own search infrastructure from scratch is hard. Especially in a monopolised market: 90% Google and 5% Microsoft with Bing proxies fighting over the rest.
Democratised Internet? Consumer choice? Market competition? Instead, we have $4.6trillion and $3.1trillion companies controlling the entire supply chain.
True independence is truly rare. But essential to maintain a resilient information ecosystem with unbiased access to the wealth of knowledge on the web.
Try Mojeek ✊️
Mail, Messaging, Browser, Cloud, Socials… the web is full of alternatives to Big Tech which keeps you locked into their ecosystem.
Do One Thing Today
Try an alternative. It might seem a hassle. It’ll be different. But that’s the point. Independent tech is different and diversity brings choice.

If you want to be the answer, you need to own the answer.
Mojeek will always be a search engine that connects you to the web. Not an answer engine. We serve you, without dependency on big tech or big finance, so we took a very different approach with summaries:
Opt-in and secondary to core search function so you’re in control.
Not automatically generated so it’s your choice to see a summary.
Up to ten sources with publisher links so you’re free to explore information.
Publisher content displayed word-for-word so information isn’t modified.
No monitoring, interpretation or mediation so you have full transparency.
Independent access to the wealth of knowledge on the web is human right.

Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, gave away his rights to the source code as he wanted the web to be a free and universal public good.
“This Is For Everyone”
Google had other plans. $4.3T corporation generating $1B+ per day from harvesting your data and selling you adverts. Mojeek is a vote for Berners-Lee.

Google control about 90% of searches. Microsoft around 5%. Bing proxies fight over the rest.
Except Mojeek.
100% independent of Big Tech for free and unbiased access to the wealth of human knowledge on the web.

Jumping into the conversation as we're proudly independent of big tech and big finance so...
- Pioneered no tracking in 2006 and don't collect any data (even IP addresses) or send any data to Google or Bing (like others).
- Generate revenue from our API which powers other search applications.
We are indeed a small team (with no social media dept!) but we prefer to have no dependency on Big Tech or venture capital.
