  • Use Default Search Engine (under Private Search Engine): This will use the same search engine for private browsing as you set for regular browsing.
You can choose from five different search engines: Google, Yahoo, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia.

If you're concerned about your privacy, you may want to consider using a search engine like DuckDuckGo, which doesn't track your searches.

You can also change your search engine at any time by following the steps above.
